Happy New Year of the Snake! 新年快樂！☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Introducing Jelly Roll! She’s a baby snake that usually likes to curl up and snooze most of the time making her look like a poofy croissant roll. Jelly Roll is super excited that this lunar year is the year of the snake. When Jelly Roll is happy, a special insignia shows up on her forehead! Anyone who catches the insignia’s appearance is bound to have good luck.

Hello everyone, it’s been awhile!  The studio’s been busy with some projects for clients that must remain confidential so no blog posts or photos…. but it’s all been good.  We recently got commissioned by a startup toy store in California to create a logo for their new business.  The requirements were that the logo be colorful, creative (of course), educational with a focus on non-technology as a theme.  The owner of the store I found adopted a few guide dogs and have a loving, big heart.  So I used that as my inspiration to create a new character named Mr. Delle.  He is named after one of the owner’s late guide dogs Mistel who was a beautiful and protective puppy.

Mr. Delle is of course a guide dog, a half golden retriever and half labrador puppy.  His favorite pastime is playing with his big toy bone and sleeping in the sun.  Mr. Delle also likes to play with cats and on one occasion happened to meet Doraemon, aka ドラえもん in Japanese, the famous gadget cat from the future.  Mr. Delle and Doraemon became instant buddies. Doraemon even gave Mr. Delle a little clear sounding bell collar as a gift.  If you ever hear a tinkling bell down the street, it could be Mr. Delle helping someone who can not see very well. <3

If anyone is in California, feel free to stop by the new toy shop located at 12202 Garvey Avenue, Suite 101 EL Monte, CA 91732.  You may run into Mr. Delle himself!

Happy Lunar New Year of the Dragon!  A little belated but better late than never… Ha!  There’s been a whole hype about this year of the dragon, mainly because the dragon is considered probably the most auspicious of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac.   So while I was brainstorming on what to design as a cute birth announcement for our expectant little bundle of joy, I decided to design it around the dragon.  =)  The end result was the birth of a new character named Dragon B.

Dragon B’s favorite food is milk and he tells his story here:

The template for this dragon birth announcement will be on sale eventually as a vector download on our Etsy shop or feel free to contact us for the template!  We’re super excited to introduce more about Dragon B as his birthday comes up.  Hope everyone is having a prosperous year of the Dragon so far and Dragon B sends a big welcome to all the new babies born this year!  <3
