34th World Wide SketchCrawl

2012-01-25T00:28:00.001+09:00

I went Akasaka for SketchCrawl 34th.
It was so cold rainy day!!
I'm sorry that I couldn't sketch outside. Hieda shrine was so beutiful, but I was stuck inside a Cafe. ^^;

Also, I sketched people in the subway.
I drew them as squirrels. You may think it's strange but it's the usual way for me.
By the way, I found that January 21st was the Squirrel Appreciation Day.

I made some friends for Kurorisu.
I think she's going to squirrel school that there are international students from the world.

I've not decided their names yet.
from the left;

Indian Palm Squirrel he's good at study,
Eastern Chipmunk she's active for sports or music
Japanese squirrel is Kurorisu
English Red Squirrel she's good friend of Kuro
California Ground Squirrel he's gentle chubby guy

He is Swinhoe's Striped Squirrel.
I know Swinhoe is the name who discovered this species but I think it fits squirrel name, don't you think so?

Swinhoe's Striped Squirrels are in China, Myanmar and Viet Nam.

Her name is Konoha, my original character.
She is 24cm (about 10 ins) tall including the ears.

Using faux fur, clay, and cotton.
I need more skill and improvement at the next time.
It was hard making the joints strong and it has bad balance to stand.

I traded my sketchbook with theirs.
WAO5 by Marty, Pinkest by Marina, Switch on Sketch by Tawashi.
Thankyou so much!!!

And I met Grihiru, comic artists at the Con and LA.
They usually acting at Saitama, near to my country. So I'd already met them before this journey.

Their Sketchbook. Thankyou!!

and Misa Tsutsui was a Grihiru's friend from Tokyo.
She is an illustrator and gave me sketchbook and portfolio.(Wow!)

Another report of the first day (Thursday).
After going to John K.'s panel, I planned to go to Munky King's art party with Marty.
While waiting Marty and his friends, I sketched the view from convension center.
(This is the photo, the sketch was only pencil work and uncompleted...)

And I waited at the front of Ralph's SuperMarket.
It was a little scared being lonely at the night.

At last, I met my friends and thanks to Matt, Marty's sharemate we arrived at the place.
The artparty was like these.
(Official announcement and photos are here.)

Munky King's mark was there.

What a great experience I watched his livepainting!!
I love his own works as well as his part of the cartoon.

Though I couldn't talk to him (I was very shy!!X(
it was really great night!! ^w^

Comic-Con journey #2

2009-08-16T17:59:00.005+09:00

First day:

I ate vegitarian meal at airplane, because I don't like meats. Fish is OK for me. So I ate mostly fish burger in the U.S.

My iPhone caught a mobile service automatically.
What a cool Phone it is!

Comic-Con give away book.
It seems 40th anniversary.
We can know Comic-Con history in a digest.

And also, it seems 25th Mutant Turtles and Usagi Yojimbo.
It was fun to see various artist's celebrating illustration.

I like this one.
Old TV show! I used to watch it!

I went to Stan Sakai's booth and bought 5 sketchbooks.

And got a sketch at my new sketchbook I bought at the place.

Thankyou Mr. Sakai!!
I love Usagi Yojimbo!!(Even I read only issue 3... I'm going to read more. ^^;)

And I came accross Joe Weatherly's booth.
He seems to make great animal paintings.
I became his fan though I've just known him at that time.

bought his sketchbook and signed.

Thankyou Mr.Weatherly!!

I'll look for his book on amazon.com.

AND!!

I bought Secret Squirrel; Funko's figure 2009 Comic-Con limited!!!
I love the Squirrel the most, and very very happy getting new limited item at the Comic-Con.

Comic-Con journey #1

2009-08-16T16:51:00.005+09:00

I went to San Diego Comic-Con again.

Why did I go to Comic-Con?
Hmmmm, I have no idea.
But I love American arts. Cartoons and animations.
Rather than Comic Market at Odaiba, Tokyo. ^^;
Maybe that's all reason.

Great convention! Huge structure! So many people!
The event was so fun!

This time I registered a professional badge as an animator.
I'm glad getting it.

And I got...

Lots of books!!

Yesterday, July 11th was the World Wide SketchCrawl day.
It was nice day to sketch.

I've never been to Hikifune station.

This time, the place was Kirakira-Tachibana-shopping district. It seems very old place.
I joined the Tokyo team at afternoon. I was very hungy, so I ate this shop's bread and...

This "Una-Nigiri". Japanese eel on the rice bowl. Very yummy.

The shrine, at the end of the district. There is my spot sketching.

After sketching, we rested at a restaurant. And we see our sketches.
Many many results!!

You can see it on movie.

After a while, we change the place to Asakusa, to eat dinner.

Asahi Beer buillding.

Wind-bells are cute!

This is my result.

And Nora's portrait.
Because of the damnness in the restaurant, the photo is full of noizes. I'm sorry. >_<

It was a nice SketchCrawl day!!

SketchCrawl in Ginza

2009-06-28T14:03:00.002+09:00

Last Sunday, I went to Higashi-Ginza again with wonderful friends. It was Rondom Sketch Crawl day. Because Mr. Marty Ito (PaintMonster) came our Tokyo SC team that day. So We could spend fantastic SC + Drawing Session. Tetsu introduced the street of Higashi-Ginza and Tsukiji market.

Because it was rainy day, we drew sketches from inside of cafe or restrant.

This is for Marty, for I got from him a day before the day.
The scene cats almost fight I'd seen few days ago.

For Natsumikan, her portrait.

These are some photos of Ginza...

And the day's dinner.

A gratin in Japanese style. It was pretty curious cooking and very good taste.

These are my doodle and sketches.
Though it was Rondom SketchCrawl day, I drew not only sketches, but also doodles. hehehe...

"Mamories of Tsukiji"

"umbrella woman" & "Tsukiji Honganji with a building in cloud"

"muffin and tea"

"The portraits of my friends"

"Cats almost fight!"

Other photos are seen in my Flickr page.

I really enjoyed my first America.
It was huge, huge for me. Actually, at first, I was very confused about the place I've never been and I couldn't speak English at all. But I found that how kind people were for me. It was very glad to talk to.

It was very fun to meet lots of artists and doodlers. In Comic-Con, in Mariott Hotel, and LA cafe. Thankyou so much!!

Stuffs that I got. They are awesome artist!!

I thank specially to Marty Ito.
He guided and supported my first travel all the time.
And he is great, really great artist.
