		<title>New Arrivals from Tokyo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>She&#8217;s a Teddy Bear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Once again, Ritzenhoff gave me a bear project. This time the brief was to customize a ceramic piggybank in the shape of a bear. I chose several approaches and this cool urban girl was picked.  She&#8217;s dressed in jeans and a hoodie covered with hearts. All the Teddybanks come in this very fancy gift box that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smoky the Bear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

		<title>Camping out in Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first illustration in Japan has just been published &#8211; the cover of the annual Auto Camp Guide of Japan. It was a great opportunity for me to work on a new pattern of tents and trees that can be seen in the background. I quite enjoy the commercial quality of the Japanese characters on [...]]]></description>

Ulrike Kittel fell in love with my raccoons and asked me to illustrate her banner that was hung up during the Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt bicycle race in Frankfurt, Germany. Ulrike is an artist that makes quilted baby blankets and her work can be seen on her website.
