Maia, based all the way in UK, found me quite by accident on Flickr and stumbled onto my website which, at that time, I had gotten to work only two days before. After having seen some of my work here, she commissioned me to come up with a character illustration of a kokeshi doll, a logo, a banner for her Ebay store and a design for her business card. It was a pleasure working with her– she knew what she wanted right from the start which made coming up with the designs a breeze, plus she was veerrrrry friendly and easy to talk to. After having experienced all sorts of difficult and indecisive clients at my former day job, I can easily say that Maia was one of the best clients I’ve ever worked with. She’s putting up her e-commerce site soon! www.kikai-fashion.com redirects to her Ebay UK site for now but we hope to see it point to her in-the-works website one of these days :)
The image on your left is my (crude) preliminary sketch for the kokeshi doll design and the final output, rendered first in Illustrator and finished in Photoshop.
