some junk

this giraffe was for a friends son's school. I had to change the final color version to a more natural giraffe pallette, but this was my first color choice.
I did these bears about a year ago for Caboom studio. can't find the original sketches.

back from oaska

I had a great time in oaska, thank you to all my friends at dream ranch for taking such good care of us. good (new) food, and lots of fun!
these are the deer that guard nara park. they are so friendly you can walk right up and pet them. the park has been there for over a thousand years with generations of deer guarding it.

these giant statues were inside todaji temple.
I did 3 workshops while I was there, it was something I have never done before, challenging yet fun. I'll post the pattern and instructions later.
this is one of the display walls with my plush.
this is a 'Roo-tote' brand bag I designed. they collaborated with artists on a
mickey/minnie tote bag series.
