Havent updated since april 11th, holy smokes. 

Life has been good and busy! I dont have any new art to showcase as anything Im doing now is NDA. But I should be bringing on a new client shortly and I have 3 new books with my old client to wrap up.

I did, however, check out a local Japanese import market - Makoto. Theyre really close and Ive been wanting to go for ages just never had the time. It was a GORGEOUS day so I finally headed over. TONS of blind boxes, food, snacks, skin care, etc. I picked up some koala cream filled snacks, finally played a gachapon(Green ball) and got a pink fennec fox. I got Calcifer from the chibi blind box, one of my favorite characters. The Card captor sakura outfit stand figure was actually super cool and I used to watch that show as a kid, some of my early art was influenced by it. I ended up getting Sakura's school outfit. A recent Miffy fan, I got a Boris the bear keychain, some really cute office post it notes, pens and some nail art stickers that Im going to have put on the next time I get my nails did.

The packaging, real cute! I even added in my Rishi sweet matcha box because thats going in the sketchbook too. First time trying it!

The haul

The cute

I posted the boxes/tags because Im going to be adding these to my sketchbook. I love the artwork that some packaging has and I really want to save it in my sketchbook so I can look back on it and appreciate it again. I think mod podge is going to be the way to go!
