Get Inspired -- link for Dice Tsutsumi story on CNN

Posts with artist Daisuke "Dice" Tsutsumi have appeared here on the blog.. dating back to his "Sketchtravel" project: a sketchbook full of drawings by icon artists that was hand carried between participants and finally auctioned off to benefit the childrens' literacy and education charity Room to Read http://www.roomtoread.org/

The published version of Sketchtravel made its US debut at the Stuart Ng Books booth at CTNX in 2011. Dice is pictured below (l) with animation icon Hayao Miyazaki (r), who was the artist who completed the last work in the original Sketchtravel sketchbook.
