illustration / Comments: (0)
Ed Meadham and Ben Kirchhoff , Fashion designers, Spring 2012 collection is so inspiring to me because their clothing is so pop, colorful and funny. As I saw these characteristic outfits, I instantly connected them with Japanese Harajuku Fashion, which is now well-known in fashion industry because of the unique and catchy style. Meadham and Kirchhoff’s design and Harajuku Fashion both have interesting motif to draw, which drove me to create this image.
They are the reference pictures from the collection of Meadham Kirchhoffand and Harajuku girl!

sketch / Comments: (0)
Because of NY Fashion Week, September is one of the most fun time to check fashion on the streets! They put tremendous energy to dress up for the shows. This year, I want to give a gold medal to this gentleman.
His eyebrows are sparkling!
Then we put on those sun glassies!!
I’ve never seen anybody wear those no- heel-high-heels in real.
Then, he walked away so elegantly…… Bravo !!!

illustration / Comments: (0)
I saw this highly fashionable man at High Line park. He was shining in yellow shirt with super shining shoes.
I think he is extremely careful of his look with little things like a scarf that is hanging down from a pocket on the pants and tassels on his purse, on his belt and on the shoes!

I found him/her around Union Sq. Why is he (or she) in this kind of fashion to pick up empty pet bottles out of garbage?
Well, I think this person simply likes to dress up and I like the way she looks !

illustration / Comments: (0)
On some early summer Saturday, I was sitting at outside cafe in Norita.
What a style!
Her eccentric look caught my eyes. She had big afro hair and put on a bikini top OVER T-shirt !
I could even see her underwear a bit from the hem of her super short denim skirt. Wow! She seemed like enjoying just standing there to get people’s attention. So I run to her to get her permission to take a picture of her, then found out she was an actress.There was LiveInTheater.com printed on her business card. I got it!

I’m going to participate to this one night art sale exhibition in SOHO, NY on 6/4 (Sat.) this weekend.
My artist friend, Aya Kakeda (www.ayakakeda.com) and her friends organized this meaningful event in order to help out those earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan.
170 artists’ work will be shown at the gallery all at once, and anybody can purchase those great arts at super decent price! This is my piece done by gouache , pencil and a bit of collage.
Please bring your friends to support those Japanese survivors.

An illustration award ceremony was held by Illustration Tsushin at Malpu Gallery in Tokyo. The chair, a Japanese leading illustrator, Mr. Mori and one of the judge, an internationally-well-known illustrator, Tatsuro Kituchi, were attended. It was a beautiful day and a nice ceremony surrounded by fresh greens.

illustration / Comments: (0)
I was flipping through Japanese fashion magazines the other day, then found that they introduced super cool almost-model-like fashionable people as a NY street fashion scene. Well, yes. There are “some” people dressed up like them. But I couldn’t help feeling a gap between those fashionistas in the magazines and the ones on NY streets in real.

It was a season for new spring/summer collection in fashion industry. I enjoyed it ! Particularly, Christian Dior by John Galliano. He’s genius! But… I know what he did was terrible. It’s sad …

I think Elmhurst is a really melting spot among any other areas in NY.
This is another experimental painting on a wooded plate.
