JAS icons

Next month I'll be delivering a presentation to the Japan-America Society, JAS. In a nutshell, my topic will be about the use of characters in advertising, products, and informational graphics in Japanese society. I scanned a couple of characters from my own sketchbook to accompany my bio. Patty chose to use the shibas (which I'm sure will thrill the shibas). Here are the icons I sent as options, and a couple of full pages from which they were taken. It's funny, no matter how long I spend on a piece of art trying to get it just right, my favorite work are always my quick sketches. Spontaneity is good for art.
