I’ll Be At Kawaii Kon 2025 At Artist Alley Table B122! Come Join The Fun At The @hawaiiconventioncenter

Why didn't anyone think of this sooner? Cats love going into bags, right? Well, at least mine do. Anyway, this bag-shaped cat bed may prove to be too irresistible for a curious kitty. Find out more by clicking the photo.

We have a slightly different "Tatsudoshi: Year of the Dragon" design for our throw pillows. They'll look lovely on a cozy sofa.

A few of us are already heading to the airport, and we’ll be running around Kauai soon! 😊 Tomorrow on 6/08/24, the @kauaicomiccon is taking place! I’ll be at Artist Alley table #33. I’ll also be one of the judges for the Night Darling Cosplay contest from 3-4p (kids) and 4-5p (adults). After that, Drew Gutierrez and I will be doing the ART IMPROV from 5-5:45p. Many artists and vendors are flying in for the day to help with the celebration! Hope to see you there! ^_^

Who would have thought something as mundane as a manhole cover could be so beautiful? These are just a few of a collection of manhole covers found around Japan. See the whole set at Booooooom.

This is the final Generation Gap comic strip as the hawaii_herald is folding up publication. I'm taking a break due to managing numerous events and projects. Instead of "Sayonara," my farewell greeting is now "Arigatoo Gozaimasu." I'm grateful to the Hawaii Herald and Hawaii Hochi for hosting my comic strip for over 20 years. Thanks to all my fans and readers who enjoyed my comic strip.

I wish you all a safe & joyful holiday season!

Aloha & Ja mata!

ANIME WEEK: Day 3

Our first Tumblr post! Here's how our larger Obakeneko design looks. She's featured on a number of clothing at our store. Cute for Halloween or just hanging around.

Our classic Koi Line design is now on iPhone & iPod touch cases! Dress up your device with a little koi.

Ape Trouble

A well educated and mild mannered ape finds himself without a job, home, or a friend. Through his many adventures, though, he finally finds one out of the three that means the most.

“Try this. It’s delicious. Want some gold? I’m not giving it to anybody else!”
