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

This design depicts a Samurai and he is in a bad mood, his dagger is drawn and one hand rests on a sword ready to go. In this design I have tried to achieve a balance between the headdress by stretching the Japanese kanji for samurai (侍) underneath him. The writing also gives it perspective as if in the street and I particularly like it how the symbol is red like blood. The style of this design is a result of going down to Melbourne and seeing all that amazing graffiti. It has a Banksy stencil feel but with a little more colour.

Digital Print A popular television series. “Hajimete no otsukai�?(a rough translation being ‘My first errand’) / follows the adventures of young children as they embark on their first errand, alone. / In Japan, when children turn three or four they are often sent on an errand by their parents to go grocery shopping by themselves for the first time, preparing them for the years ahead in which they will have to walk to and from school everyday. This, once being a rite of passage, is now less common following the recent rise in kidnaps and murders of young children in Japan. / The program itself is extremely elaborate, the camera operators have cameras disguised in briefcases, baskets, hats, etc and will follow these children on their successful or unsuccessful missions. Often children lose their way, buy the wrong items, fall asleep, wander aimlessly while talking to themselves or get side-tracked by other more interesting adventures, such as playgrounds or building snowmen. The twins, ‘futago’ in Japanese, depicted in this work were the protagonists in one such episode of “Hajimete no otsukai’. The two little girls “Shuna�? and “Hina�? dressed the same, finished each others sentences and seemed even to walk in unison until one point at which they reached a fork in the road, one turned left, the other right and they then spent the next 30 mins arguing over which direction they both thought was the right way. They returned home crying, but after being consoled by their mother, they then set off again and returned victorious but with far too many cakes than were on the list.

‘Asia Series’ card by Karin Taylor A more serious piece this time. A painting inspired by the art form of the Geisha. Her discipline and strength I admire. I have used ink, acrylic, charcoal and pastels to create Geisha Girl. The original painting is no longer available, but so glad she can come to you in the form of a greeting card. I hope you like her :D

French BullDog French Bulldogs are one of my favourite breads of dog, simply because of funny look they have on their face. When I was in Switzerland a few years ago I remember sitting having dinner at an up-market restaurant. I could heard this snotty labored breathing nearby. I turned around to see what it was and there were these two french bulldogs sitting upright at the next dinner table staring over at me and my food. I will never forget their comical and stark expressions.

Geisha on a Mission in the city of Gion The training involved in becoming a Geisha is very rigorous, and because of this the numbers of Geisha are declining. Few young women in today’s society are willing to devote themselves to such demanding training. To become a Geisha, if accepted, a young girl must go through an apprenticeship that involves living with a head Geisha. This training period takes five to six years. During this time, the Geisha trainee must help with the chores and the running of the house, learn customs and social skills, and take music and dance lessons. After about six months, the trainee Geisha is called a maiko girl, and accompanies a Geisha on her appointments in order to become acquainted with customers. At about age 20, the maiko must make the decision to become a full-fledged Geisha or not. If a girl wishes to marry she cannot become a Geisha. This photo was taken on the streets of Gion deep within Kyoto at around 4pm, which is when Geshas finish their hours-long makeup and preparation routine and head over to the evening’s assignment. KYOTO, JAPAN / JUNE 2007
