Most Of Our Everyday Lives,

go without a hitch,


 but just occasionally there is that 'moment' that is big at the time, but is almost instantly forgotten about, like this one above, that moment when the bag of cereal no longer fits in the skinny box, Japanese illustrator Ryosuke Otomo has made it a point to dwell on these moments and, on a daily basis, memorialize them in the form of simple, graphic illustrations,

 that moment when you remove one pack of whatever and the plastic film wrapper becomes loose

 that moment when you don’t know which part of your phone number to write in the parenthesis

 that moment when you peel the tape off a box but it’s obstructed by another piece of tape

 that moment when the tofu cover doesn’t fully peel off

that moment when you realize this type of bag closing will never come off, all so true, for myself I have a number of recurring moments, that always seem to center around a bottle of wine on a picnic, with the realization I have forgotten the corkscrew!
