Kawaii Little Folk Letterpress Print by Ikumi Watanabe. 8x10". Limited Edition. May '09

$25.00

"I should say this drawing reflects my current emotional challenge as I struggle to recapture my self image being back home. Taking a close look at each character individually -- they don't seem to belong to each other, yet I wanted to bring a sort of togetherness and friendliness among them. Also, I was re-reading "The Little Prince" and found the sunset episode very striking. Even heartless looking creatures have such dramas." - Ikumi Watanabe

Ikumi Watanabe studied visual arts in Utah, and now enjoys taking pictures, drawing, writing songs, and promoting artists in her home country of Japan (when she's not too busy with her day job as a translator).
