Pen Drawings

Every day, I whip out my sketchbook and doodle with my new favorite pen (0.4mm is the best). These are the ones I like from the last few days:

    Hi Sanae – your drawings always inspire me to doodle but mine are rarely as satisfying to gaze upon as yours.

    I’m with you on the .4 mm pens! You may already know about these pen sites. I LOVE pens. But in the grand scheme of things, pen addiction is a pretty tame vice, yes? The sites are http://www.jetpens.com (love this site. Had totally forgotten about it.), http://www.gourmetpens.com/ and http://www.tokyopenshop.com/ has a great selection of ultra-fine pens for those of us into that. Also great tag line: for pens as precise as your thoughts.

May 5th is a very special day for me. Not only is May 5th is a very special day for me. Not only is it Japanese children’s day and Cinco de Mayo (a very big deal in Los Angeles where I grew up), it’s also the publication date of my very first book that I wrote and illustrated. Today, Little Kunoichi is 10 YEARS OLD!!! Crazy, crazy. This wee ninja girl completely changed my life. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I’m pleased to report that a decade later I’m still in cahoots with @lbfbooks and we have a new book releasing this summer. Little K is back, albeit in a slightly different format…excited to share more soon!! 🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷
