her blue apron is called “kappogi“. it’s an old-fashioned japanese apron. they come in plain white and colourful patterns. my grandma used to wear kappogi. i find it very kawaii.

i was really busy last month, but now i have more time and energy to do more drawings.

so here is my first drawing after one-month break from drawing.

at this point, i’m not really sure what’s going to happen next.  all i know is she is a farmer.

“irregular flow” was done by 4khz, a vimeo user from istanbul. the colours in this are so lovely, and the music is very peaceful (it reminds me of the music from the orisinal video games).

i’m having postcards and posters made to promote my show, titled “personal”, at the mendel art gallery. the image is my favorite drawing from this show, called “new heartbeat”. i wanted to have this work as the focal point of the show, so it’s displayed in the center of the main wall, with my other drawings in a symmetrical layout surrounding it. the secret of the show is that it’s all about poko-chan, one way or the other. i hope that poko-chan will be happy to see its visualized heart in the gallery.

the postcards and posters will be ready by the end of this week. i’m planning to walk around downtown and broadway this weekend to put up posters and invite people in person to come to the opening. i’ll also be leaving some postcards in shops, so if you find this somewhere please feel free to take it home with you.

the mendel has also invited me to put some of my art prints and postcards up for sale in their gallery shop. i chose a few of the same ones that are available as prints in my online shop, plus i’m also making art prints of “new heartbeat” for the first time. “new heartbeat” will also be added to my online shop, as soon as i have time.
