The lineup of artists was absolutely phenomenal and included some TokyoBunnie favorites like Koralie, Lillidoll, Harley + Boss, Kukula, Naoshi, Stella Im Hultberg, Apak, Tiffany Liu, Mizna Wada, Tado... and tons more. I took lots of pics, which you can see on my flickr feed here. I highly recommend checking out the show if you can!

Sunae (sand) artist Naoshi's Etsy shop never disappoints. Her fun colorful retro-inspired girls make awesome cards and prints.

Naoshi Prints


I've been a big fan of Naoshi's sand illustration (sunae) work for awhile, and I love this new series of prints, entitled 'The Three Principles of Health'. Available in her Etsy shop.


Naoshi




I fell in love with the work of Japanese artist Naoshi about a year ago, when I found her on Myspace. Naoshi creates her work using the Japanese method of Sunae, which means she uses colored sand to create the illustations. I used to play around with sand art as a kid- and if you did too, then you know how difficult it is! Mine never turned out right, there was always colors all mixed up and I usually ended up with more sand all over myself than on my artwork.
That's why I am in such awe of these pieces! Not only do I love the illustrations themselves- ice cream haired girls and sundae sittin' ladies... but when you think that they are made of sand! Totally amazing!
Naoshi has a website, here, and a great little Etsy shop where you can get prints of her work, here.
