A crafty little atelier in a grey city

July 27, 2012

Drizzly Summer

Rainy Day

Another grey day and another digital drawing. Maybe it’s because I live in the Pacific Northwest, but I really enjoy drawing clouds and raindrops. It’s chilly and un-summery outside, but I’ve got my trusty cafe au lait beside me and I’m admiring the many tattooed hipsters flowing in and out of the coffee shop. I’ve never had any desire to get inked myself but I actually love tattoos.

If I were to get one, what would it be? There might have to be some stripes (I do love me some stripes!), and I think I would avoid color. I remember seeing a woman with an earth tattoo on her belly, and as her pregnancy progressed, the earth grew. It was a bit disconcerting and very cool at the same time. The elephant above looks rather inked itself, no?

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!! 🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷🥷
