Working with all the artists we know is always a rewarding experience, but sometimes it's even more special when that artist is a longtime friend and collaborator. For Ryo and I, Remi Rough was an old mate with whom we collaborated on various art projects, including the Stickerbomb books. After years of being out of touch, we recently reconnected and had the opportunity to visit his new studio and see his new work. We were blown away by his books, his new work, and all the projects he is cooking up!

Remi Rough is an artist from England whose career began as a street artist in the 1980s before moving on to gallery art. His works feature abstract shapes with straight edges in vivid colors, and his pieces have been displayed all over the world, including Hong Kong, Paris, and Tokyo.

Our early collaboration with Remi was a significant part of our journey. He was part of a number of our early Stickerbomb book releases and helped us put together our first Stickerbomb book launch. But after moving abroad, we lost touch, and it was not until recently that we reconnected. Seeing his new work and catching up on old times was a heartwarming experience. We talked about our past projects, shared stories and ideas, and discovered that we still have a lot in common.

Reconnecting with Remi Rough was an inspiring experience. We realized how great it would be to collaborate once more and going forward we will cook up some great books, exhibitions and more.
