I remember reading about MILKFED, the line that Sofia Coppola started, in Seventeen magazine as a teenager in the nineties. I coveted the simple crewneck tees with the red logo. So it's such a delight to be able to work with MILKFED now as an adult. I illustrated simple line drawings over sweet photos by Fabian Parkes with the ever so lovely model, Lena Fujii, for the 2012 S/S collection mook(magazine/book).

Time is slipping through my fingers. I feel like I start off each news post with the same lament. But it's already the end of March the year is 1/4 through. Through I tell you! Well, after many months, the team at Studio Output are so patient(thank you), the theme I designed for the Playstation artist series, official title:Lost in Harajuku, is out! I wish I played video games so that I could download some cool artist themes but if any of you play and want it you can read more about it here.

I remember all through middle school and high school saving up money to buy Valentine's gifts for family, friends and once in awhile a special crush. It was such a special memory for me. This year, I wish I could be in Tokyo to buy my very own chocolates for the special people in my life. Isetan, a renowned department store in Japan, has collaborated with six female artist to create a special series called "yum yum art"! You can order it online here and Nylon Japan did a sweet little write up here.

The holidays are past now and we are already heading towards the end of the first month of the new year. My first post of 2012 is actually something I did for Girl H. in 2011. I drew a quartet of fashionable ladies, a little bit dressier than usual, for a special Holiday gift guide. You can check it out in better detail here.

I'm rushing around in a last minute dash trying to make sense of my Christmas list, organize potlucks, make dinner plans and you know also work and make a living. :-) Uhhhm, while I had ambitious plans of having all my Christmas shopping and present shipping(parents) done before December 15th, those are but faint November memories. But I do want to say you can buy my mini book from GASSHOP! The whole series of Gasbook Pop books are only 1,050 Yen each and while I don't think they ship internationally(where there is a will there is a way), maybe you have a friend in Japan, but in the meantime you can check it out here.
