My Japanese Cupboard Studio
How I transformed a small Japanese storage cupboard into a home studio for The Magic Crayons.
How I Converted a Japanese Cupboard into a Home Studio
-
Living in Japan often means making the most of limited space. Several years ago, I converted a traditional Japanese storage cupboard into a compact home studio for The Magic Crayons.
Originally, the studio was designed mainly for recording music, educational videos and YouTube content. Over the years, both the equipment and The Magic Crayons have changed considerably. Today, my work is focused on designing and handcrafting map art, but this little studio is still where much of the digital side of my work takes place.
The video below shows the original conversion and how I transformed an ordinary cupboard into a practical workspace.

The Studio Today
A lot has changed since I made this video. The old iMac and much of the audio equipment have been replaced, and my workspace has evolved alongside my work.
I'll be sharing more about my current studio, the xTool equipment I use to create my maps, and the photography and video equipment I use to document the process.
