mikoto’s Daruma Doll someone asked me at my stall at Paddington Markets about the meaning behind the skull logo. I talked to them about how I wanted to achieve a balance between cuteness and evil/cheeckyness in all of the mikoto designs. Having the skull and cross bones with love heart eyes and a cute smile symbolized that. I also talked about how having one eye coloured related to the Japanese Daruma Doll. The Daruma is a Japanese doll that is sold near Buddhist temples all throughout Japan. It symbolises optimism, persistence, and strong determination because of its ability to be tilted to one side and always return to the upright position. The doll’s eyes only contain the color white. Using black ink, you fill in a single eye while thinking of a wish. If the wish comes true, the second eye is then filled in. When I designed the logo I made one eye black with the Daruma Doll and a wish in mind. The mikoto logo is representative of a personal Daruma. It holds a wish that I hope one day Ill achieve, and represents the qualities I need to possess to make it happen. hopefully, my goals will one day come true, and Ill be able to colour in both eyes. thanks for taking the time to meet mikoto’s Daruma Doll scotty

What does drip stand for? Dividend Re-Investment Plans. Why am I telling you about some stockbroker jargon? because if you sell something on redbubble you get a commission, a kickback, a dividend! My DRIP is going to be to spent whatever money I earn from redbubble back on redbubble. I just got a little dividend and so now I get to go shopping! too easy. Im sure this in not a unqiue idea but I love how its called a drip. funnily enough I got the info from another website with a favicon that is disturbingly similar to redbubbles. see for yourself: http://beginnersinvest.about.com/od/dividendsdrips1/a/aa040904_5.htm scotty

I have been thinking about how to merge a few of my designs together and I like how this has worked out. I based on the idea of one of those Pandora bracelets you have that you can continually add to. IN this case I have the daruma doll, mocha, skull, forkers, a moon and french bulldog. Plus a few stars. enjoy!

Daruma are little icons you can buy in Japan- these ones are from the sengen temple in the 5 lakes area around mount fuji. when you get one home , the idea is to paint one eye black and make a wish. When it comes true you fill in the other eye. Angry looking little buggers tho!

This is the new banner for mikoto.com.au I designed it as part of and overhaul following a nasty incident whereby my site was hacked into. I though a new image was required to rebirth the site.

This photo was taken of me by a friend, in Shirakawa, Japan during the Daruma festival in 2007. I always thought that this was an amusing photo.
