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.
Adzif has just introduced their new line of writable wall applications. Made of vinyl with a rugged surface, you can write temporary messages on them with ordinary chalk. Above and below are four of a dozen animal designs that I have created for Adzif. The photo of my studio is from a shoot that was used to illustrate an article on back-to-school supplies and study spaces for kids. It seems the space could easily be transformed into a children’s playground though the kids better not touch my Mao Dunny or my Tintin rocket (on the shelves in the background) or any other of my toys.
I change business cards like I change clothes – every season a new outfit! And it’s a lot cheaper than in the old days of offset printing. This season I printed 100 4×6 inch postcards through Gotprint.com and cut them up to achieve the clothes tag size cards which is smaller than the standard 2×3 inches. Six different colors on one side and six different animals on the other. I also simplified my job description to read «illustration» which works in English and French (cards have to be bilingual in Quebec). And, voilà, 600 glossy business cards advertisng my website www.julienchung.com! I like fishing so I placed a very small fish under my name. If you would like a set, please e-mail me at julienchung@hotmail.com and include your postal address.
