This year as every year I was doing the character a day challenge in October. But this year, I have dropped off on Day 19 :( Every day things just got caught up to me and I couldn’t go on. It’s a big disappointment but I’m thinking to make my own challenge in December so I can finish my year with a clean slate.
I’m posting here, some of the characters from this October challenge that came out nice :)
Post it show opens tomorrow!
Paddington World
With the release of new Paddington Movie, I worked on a project with IFC Mall in Shanghai for their Christmas Paddington World. It was fun drawing a character in my style especially I grew up reading the book and I feel close to him!

アートライフさんに素晴らしい展覧会を企画してもらいました！吉本ばななさんの小説の表紙などを手がけたり、はたまた音楽界でもご活躍の原マスミさんとの展覧会です。哀しい予感、パイナツプリン、バリ夢日記の表紙をみたとき、すぐにその独特な女性の絵に魅了されました。その方と一緒に作品をみせられるのは、まるで夢のようです。

Hello Tokyo!!! I'm having a show at Midnight Gallery OPP in Roppongi. I'm especially excited because it's a show with Masumi Hara who is an illustrator that I have been admiring since I was young. First time I saw his illustration was on Banana Yosimoto's novel and since then I was drawn into his beautiful strong eyed women he paints. It is like a dream comes true to be paired with such an accomplished artist! Thank you ArtLife for putting this event together!!!
