Hi with another character design sketch I did during my stay at Nemacon, Middlesbrough.

Great achievement, Heart Japan!

Heart Japan party last night was really great. I thought it was a great success and I'm praising the really wonderful work by the passionate organizers and all the volunteers!
I also would love to thank you all who come to the event and especially who visited my space and donated generously or/and bought the special postcards. I didn't have a chance to hug you all last night so let me virtually hug you now! Hug hug!
I'm so sure that the people in Japan will really appreciate it...

Pink tinted lip cream

I was listening to a talk about visiting the shelters and towns in Fukushima, Japan. And the guy who was reporting mentioned that the girls at a the shelter he had visited would love to have some tinted lip creams.

This story made me sad and happy. Sad, because they can't even have lip creams. Happy, even in these hardships they now have gathered some energy to care their appearance.

Girls, hung on!
