Balanced Diet

The following is a picture I made in Japan that I wanted to put it. It's still in a rough draft phase, because there are some aspects of it I want to change. The background and the red pins were photographs I took, but they didn't turn out very well. For instance, there is a blueish hue to the pins. The background was made out of felt, but the colors are a little too desaturated, at least the sky part, which looks gray rather than blue. Anyways, in the future I'd like to do a book that has this style throughout.

I apologize for the lack of posts lately. For the last month I have been preparing to move back to the USA from Japan, so I've been busy.

The convention happened last month I think, and I haven't received any contacts from my fliers being there yet, so I'm not sure if they were received well. But it was fun making the flier. Here is what I settled on, though I only had a short time to get it ready and out the door-



It's supposed to resemble a cereal box, full of Matty goodness! More posts to come soon. Also check out my tea blog at http://ochaniverse.blogspot.com.
