Another Mac Style product using our Smooth Sailor and other images from the Modern Ark collection. The Japanese confections are little dairy-size cups filled with a variety of fruit flavored gelatins. So sweet!
Views of the displays at the Ginza Yrstyle store (clockwise from top left): notebooks, whale zippered pouch, notecards (top row are mine), ema candies (they taste like grape), greeting cards, and ladybug bag charms.
Here’s a selection of the samples I received from Tokyo in the last few weeks. I am especially pleased with the wooden products. The silkscreening and the color finish are impeccable. I also enjoyed how the designers combined my animals to create new patterns like the fish and the octopus. Shown: blackboards and mini photo albums by You Power, Japan.
3×3 has just announced their winners for this year’s edition of the Children’s Show, a juried collection of illustrations and books for children. Just to get in, the majority of the eight judges have to vote for the piece. I’m very happy to announce that three of my entries were selected – one for a newspaper illustration about relaxing activities for kids during Spring Break, a second for a poster showing the handmade Bambino sled and, the third, for the ADzif line of blackboard wall decals «Memo». Congratulations to La Presse, goslide.ca and ADzif!
All the winners will be published in the upcoming annual No.7. 3×3 is a magazine of international contemporary illustration, published in New York. In addition to the magazine, 3×3 organizes three juried shows each year and publishes an invitation-only directory.
