Loud Family is an attempt at something else.

The ethos is "we'll give it a go".

And yes there are Loud Family T-shirts now.

This funky graphic came from a three-way doodle jam, the last one I held at Hotaka Yojoen during my 2 month stay there over Summer 2026. The first jam came about because I just wanted a chance to draw with fellow artist and friend Chie Suzuki, but as the weeks passed and other people came along to draw, I started to realise that doodling together was not only creating these weird and wacky artworks, it was also creating a shared sense of community, purpose and creativity.

There is something about fast, improvised drawing that feels like it taps into raw creativity, with the only outcome being to create, rather than to produce. This piece was the result of a quickfire jam, where three of us swapped paper every 2 minutes, leaving no real time to muse over what to do, so everything put on paper came from instinctive reaction. 'world pieces' is the raw material of three human minds rapidly reacting to creative reactions of one another, and I think there's something pretty cool about that.
