Sobakasu

**Please expand images for highest quality!
"Sobakasu" is the word for freckles in Japanese. On this newest illustration, I was inspired by that. My sister has always had lots of freckles on her face, and for some reason I always thought that was unique, and really cool. I remember seeing an old section in a Japanese magazine from around 2006 where Japanese girls were drawing freckles on their own faces as kind of a make up trend. I've heard some people say that freckles mean somebody is weak, but for me, I think it is really cute and attractive when girls have cute freckles! So to all the freckle faces out there, this illustration is for you! I also wanted to do a couple of new photo illustrations. The one with two girls on it is at one of my favorite places to walk around and watch people in Tokyo, called "Cat Street" in Harajuku. A lot of street fashion photos that you see are taken right here on this street.

So I was quite suprised the other day when a friend randomly messaged me on facebook saying that he saw my work in the new "ArtBeat OK!" I was really suprised, because they didn't even let me know I was featured..haha. But who cares! I'm really thankful and suprised! I
had submitted some images to them by email a couple of months ago, and they asked me to keep
trying and sending things. So, I want to thank everyone at art beat for featuring my
work and blog. If you're new here, welcome, and please check out the other posts, for all
