Artist's Comments
This is an illustration I did many years ago when I had an idea for a children's picture book about a little boy going to a Japanese grocery store with his grandmother. The book never got any further than this one illustration, sadly! I was always pleased with how it turned out, though.
The original art is owned by Mayumi H., a longtime supporter of my books and comics; she's here on DA, actually, so maybe she'll have something to say about this. ^_^ Students of Japanese will notice a little hidden Miyazaki reference: The boxes on the lower right say "Tonari no Totoro," the original Japanese title of My Neighbor Totoro." |

You've put in just enough detail to be able to identify which item's which. The whole style is loose and playful, and the color helps accentuate this.
You're making me impatient for September (when I go abroad to Japan for a year)!
