************
This is my business page for my art... mostly paintings, graphic designs. But I am fascinated with making crochet plushie at the moment.
My name is Toshiko. I am a UC Berkeley art major with a focus in oil paintings. The school does not offer any type of graphic designs, therefore I am self-taught using photoshop and other programs for designing logos, flyers, and miscellaneous designs. After being at UCB for 3 years, I recently withdrawn from school and moved to Hong Kong. This is all temporary, just need a break and take care of a few family matters in the land where I was born. School, I will finish someday.
Back to business... my art has a cohesive and whimsical feel to it. I myself think that every piece of my creation is pretty, "cute", childish, yet there is always something disturbing about it.
If you are interested in working with me on whatever kind of design, feel free to email me at [email protected] or message me on here with a detailed description of what you want and we can go from there.
