Twisty Haired Bubblegum Girl+Tumblr


This new illustration was somewhat inspired by some crazy twisty do's I've seen people sporting on the streets of Tokyo. I have noticed that people especially those who seem to closely resemble the "Tokyo Bopper" concept/style are doing it the most. You never know what's going to be next on the streets of Tokyo! The following photo was taken from RIDSNAP, and was posted on my tumblr..I wanted to go ahead and post some images from my tumblr today as well.



The perfect example, from RIDSNAP


> For those of you that have been following for a long time, I had an inspiration blog on blogger before. When I noticed a lot of people were using tumblr specifically for posting images of art, design, fashion, and inspiration, I thought that it would be the perfect avenue for me to have an online source of images that inspire me, and to also have them available if anybody else finds them interesting. Here is a small taste of my tumblr, which you can follow here: http://lactoseintolerart.tumblr.com

Tavuchi meets FRUiTS magazine owner, holding Lactose Intoler-Art bag


My friend Tavuchi met with the owner of FRUiTS,TUNE, and STREET magazine. I was glad to see she was holding my bag design. Tavuchi will be coming to my city very soon to meet up with me. I'll try and keep the blog updated with that.

Skater Kid!


Inspired by those cool skater kids in Koenji, Shimokitazawa, and Harajuku. Both black and white versions!

Tavuchi-San


Today I decided to do a newer illustration of one of my favorite and most inspiring people. I had drawn her before, but it was a long time ago. Tavuchi-san is famous for her shops across Tokyo, such as "Spank!," "Ticket to Darling," and a few more. She has been innovative in her own sense of mixing late 1980's fashion into something that is relevant to the fashionable neighborhoods of Tokyo today. One of her shop staff members in the Shibuya store told me that they are also very inspired by Full House. How cool! Tavuchi-san is also a closer friend of a friend known as "Fashion Hayley", a stylish girl from Melbourne who is also very interested in Tokyo street fashion and culture. She was actually the one who got me started blooging. Arigatou Hayley-chan! haha

I was fortunate to meet Tavuchi-san when I went to Japan once. She seemed very sweet and shy! I woud love to meet her again someday...

Tavuchi-san, if you are reading this, I hope you like the new illustration! :)
