Workshop at OKIDO shop

The workshop was very successful.

We enjoyed very much!

Chie's naked mole rat & my blue boy in cable car.

The cable car and the balloon are from our zine 'HAPPY TRAVELLERS'. and ship too.

with Peter's kids.

Alex played accordion.

I was glad that kids enter the ship and played.

Boys went to sweet shop again & again.

Many puppets hung with ones by kids.

This cable car was low and annoying everyone.

We were so happy and enjoyed playing with kids. So many klids came and play with us. It was amazing!

OKIDO shop will be closed down this month but this is such a precious place where people come and enjoy together.

Anyway I'm pleased!

From Sadie

Hi Soju.
Me, Daddy (Peter) and Sadie (my sister,up there) are all crowded around Daddy's laptop and we just looked at your amazing site. I love your drawings!
Your comics are sooooo funny. I especially love the comic where the headgear were doing things to the character; that made me laugh so much!
Love Molly (Peter's daughter, 11 years old)


I'm so happy as I imagine the kids are crowded at laptop and laughing at my comics. I'm so glad!

They said coming to our workshop at OKIDO shop.

OKIDO 11

OKIDO issue 11 is out now!

I did 2 pages in this issue.
some little pictures on the cover and back as well.

The theme is 'Heart and Blood Circulation'.



I made lots of activities.
Amida-kuji (Ghost Leg), mouth one, ball game, spot the differences, and colouring activity.

In the Amida-kuji, you help Red Blood Cells to bring Oxygen to organs.
In the mouth activity, White Blood Cell eats germs.



As you fold the page,


It will eat.


On the edge of the back page, there will be a gutter as you fold it for front. Using it, you need to keep a red Plasticine ball (Red Blood Cell) moving between Lungs and Heart.



There were 2 stages of Amida-kuji but we had to remove it cause the page was too busy.

used to be like this.







This is a short animation as exercise for the animation project which I'm now doing.
