2nd elephant for Elephant Parade


Elephant Paradeのエレファント2頭目、できたよ!

時間ないのですごくシンプルなものにしました。
計3日で終えたよ。

ささやいてます。

ゾウの後ろ脚がこいつの足にも見えるようになってます。
気持ち悪いバランスだね。

近づくと、

いっぱいいるー。

反対側。

おしりにはこんなやつが。

おなかは、


ちんこに見えるようにもなってる。


もともとはこんなデザインだったけど、描きながら思いついていろいろ変えてみた。
手とかよく見てね。





いま、どこを向いてるでしょうか。

今回はひとりではなく人に撮ってもらいました。

some competitions

For competition of the cover Pica Pica Magazine, which will be published by LCC students.



I wasn't chosen. There were just 15 submissions, but the winner and runner-ups are not good. totally not.
Yes, I think mine was much better.

By the way, this image is drawn separately in colour like to be ready for screen-printing.
Then scanned and combined in Photoshop.
I think this method worked well, with not only printing actually.
the slight gaps due to scanning fault is interesting as well, like ones with actual screen-printing.







These are submission for Nobrow competition.
Theme was 'People I've never met' & 'Conversations I've never had'









My bio is now on the website of the art event in Saga, Japan.

Workshop at OKIDO shop

The workshop was very successful.

We enjoyed very much!

Chie's naked mole rat & my blue boy in cable car.


The cable car and the balloon are from our zine 'HAPPY TRAVELLERS'. and ship too.





















with Peter's kids.

Alex played accordion.

I was glad that kids enter the ship and played.




Boys went to sweet shop again & again.






Many puppets hung with ones by kids.







This cable car was low and annoying everyone.





























We were so happy and enjoyed playing with kids. So many klids came and play with us. It was amazing!

OKIDO shop will be closed down this month but this is such a precious place where people come and enjoy together.

Anyway I'm pleased!
