Fashion From Computers

Some color sketches of fashion inspired by computers! This will be a series of illustrations that will hopefully find its way into a booklet alongside illustrations by my very talented friend Anand :)
Inspired from HAL 9000:

And the Univac 1108 computer:

Disgruntled Llama

Llama at the local faire...

Plush, Plush!

More plushes! I spent the weekend glued to my sewing machine making more giant plush Onigiri pillows and some new Super Chub Sushis for my growing collection of cute foods.

Fat enough to fit in your hand, but still small enough to nom! Super Chub Sushis!

Can't have a craft day without tea and biscuits! I almost broke my sewing machine sewing these guys...apparently there was too much fluffy adorbz going on (or I threaded my bobin backwards...cuz you know...that happens).

 Anyways, now there are two pillows...hoping I'll have time to make two more before the end of July!

Onigiris

Plush onigiris will be in force at JPop Summit this July! Now they come in two flavors - smooth and wild! Noms!

Shada

Busy planning lots of art. Here's a sketch of a piece I'm going to do for a Dr Who art show in November. It's based off the book Shada, which was originally a screenplay for a Dr Who episode back in the day (by Douglas Adams no less!). If you're a Whovian and haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it!

Cute Food in June!

It's almost June and I've finally started to think about additions to my inventory leftovers from Cherry Blossom (which by the way, was a great success!). I am now thinking about doing the Jpop festival in July with my good friends in the Squee Brigade. To prepare, I'm thinking of doing a new sticker run of cute japanese food - nigiri, onigiri and pork buns!

Stickers to put on everything! I will additionally be doing another run of Sea Otter Dr Who stickers (since the last batch SOLD OUT *_*). And of course, more stuffies! I'm planning on making lots more onigiri this time (they practically flew off the table at Cherry Blossom!).

In addition to festivals, I have a show piece to make for a Dr Who show in October and several illustrations to make for a Tech Couture booklet I will be a part of. So between copious amounts of overtime at work, I shall fit all this stuff in...erm...somewhere. (Seriously, if anyone ever scoffs at you that being a professional artist is easy because you "get to draw all day", please smack them in the face.)

As Willy Wonka says, "So much time, so little to do - strike that! Reverse it. Thank you."

Cherry Blossom Festival!

Hi all! This weekend I will be selling my stuffies, stickers, prints and some brand new originals at the Cherry Blossom Festival in SF. So if you're in town, stop by and say hi! (We'll be in the New People building on the second floor) :)
Here are some pics of what I'll be selling:

Mini Onigiri!

Pork Buns!

Some cute food original watercolors

And of course, some Sea Otter Dr. Who stickers for good measure!

In addition to all of those I'll have extra prints from APE and some additional zombie pumpkins for sale. Phew! Any left overs will be posted to my etsy shop after this weekend, so stay tuned! :D
