2012 Zodiac Illustration Series

Happy new 2012, everyone:) Hope you enjoyed your holidays and ready to start your fresh 2012! I had a good Japanese New Year's food (unfortunately not Osechi but soba and ozoni!) so I am so ready!
I'm aiming to produce many many many paintings and designs this year;)

My Zodiac Illustration Series are finally all set!
All done by Mixed Media 8"x10"on my original canvas board. Hope you like your sign!

２０１２年、あけましておめでとうございます。楽しいお正月を迎え、新しい一年のスタートをきりました。NYでお正月を迎えた私は、残念ながらおせち料理は今年も食べれず、年越しそばとお雑煮を作って食べました。それでも日本の食材が手に入りにくいNYで生活する私にとっては、かなりの幸せです！
今年は、できるかぎりたくさんの絵を描き、たくさんデザインをしていきたいと思います。そして、たくさんの人に見ていただけるように頑張りたいと思います。

去年から進めていた、星座のイラストレーションシリーズがやっと完成しました。すべて8 inch x 11 inch、オリジナルのキャンバスボードにミックスメデアで描いております。気に入っていただけたら嬉しいです！

Happy Holidays♪

Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season and A Happy 2012 to all!!

Original Illustration in Digital

The most recent Illustration project that I did, "Fall Walking", was for Traditional Home Magazine.

On October 5th, there was a Holiday House Kick-off party. The Holiday House is the designer table top showhouse in the Upper East side. That was a gorgeous gorgeous house and event! ! I'm really happy to be involved this project! My illustration was used for Benjamin Moore's Paint-by-Number project with the new color line called "Color Story". I painted on the wall in the main room of the Holiday House.It was actually the room from the Sex and the City movie , Carrie and Big's new room that they were going to live in together! As a big fan of the Sex And The City, I was honored to paint my illustration on the wall :) I started painting from 9:30 AM and finished at 8PM. It was the largest painting I did ever and in the shortest time that I painted a mural!

Started painting at 10am!

40 colors of paint from Benjamin Moore!

Zodiac Illustration, work in progress

I am finally being able to recreate my zodiac illustration series. The idea has been sleeping in my sketch book for long long long time. (Although I still have so many idea to paint... probably too many! ) I'm glad that I could finally manage my time to recreate this series. From the right, Leo, Scorpion, Libra and Cancer.

Eight more paintings to go! Can't wait to finish them up!
