Cherry Sunrise

Cherry Sunrise kawaii art card

This would be my wishful thinking:  if only the sun was a giant red cherry...it would be the greatest sunrise ever! Fortunately I can amuse myself by painting it into reality, and what a lovely way to express your "kawaii-tivity" or surprise someone who loves kawaii art and illustrations by giving them this art card! Who doesn't love kawaii cherries?

"Silent Spring" notecard and envelope

Just completed this painting which is one in a series of j-pop inspired paintings/illustrations I've had on my mind for a while now. It is a desire for a return to nature and a respect for the wild. If you like this series, it will be available on etsy as notecards and prints.

Cutest Zombie Bear Ever!

Fastest sewer with the tiniest neatest stitches...she's got skills!

A pro hard at work.

Their mission, should they have chosen to accept, was to make an adorable zombie in 2 hours or less. Mission accomplished, for the most part...many of my regulars came and they had no problem tackling this new plush project and finishing up with time to spare! The tough part for them was deciding which plush to do....zombie bear or zombie monkey....very very tough decision. This month's workshop was part of the teen summer reading program...Thank you Deb and Adriana for inviting me and for putting on the coolest of teen programs in Los Angeles!!
