There is three shirts available on redbubble that are based around the enjoyment of basic Asian Cuisine.
this drawing is from a trip down to Bundanon. I tired to draw everything I saw happen on one page. It took over four hours and has alot of detail that you cannot clearly see here. To see a bigger version goto the gallery page and select one of the download sizes. You can also buy this drawing on a shirt or as a print from redbubble
For a long time on myspace mikoto had a little avatar of the badges you could buy from the badge shop. It has been replaced with the flashing square you see here that is in actual fact flashing through all 40+ mikoto Tshirts that you can buy from redbubble. The little avatar has got a lot of attention and I know its a bit over the top but thats just the way we likes it! A big thank to all of you who have purchased a mikoto tshirt from redbubble or my market stall.

Traveling to Melbourne for the week was a great experience. walking the streets of the CBD I count not believe how much graffiti, art, music and culture seemed to pour out of every lane-way. I was really impressed by the graffiti method using white paint with black stencils and upon my return home to Sydney I created this design.
The design depicts a Samurai and he is in a bad mood, his dagger is drawn and one hand rests on a samurai sword ready to go. I have tried to achieve a balance between the enormous headdress by stretching the Japanese kanji for samurai (?) underneath him. The writing also gives it perspective, as if in the street and I particularly like it how the symbol is red like blood.

The mikoto website has received a number of cosmetic and functional changes that include a new header image, lighter woodgrain background and a new gallery page.
The header is filled with some of the characters that will be on the next run of T-shirts I print for Paddington Markets that you can currently buy online from my mikoto profile at Redbubble.
The new gallery page will steadily grow with mikoto designs and drawings That can be then used on website such as myspace, PC desktops, screen savers and print outs. I will include not only finished designs but preliminary sketches and hand drawings.
The real reason for the change though was to fix my website after it was hacked into!
if you were lucky enough to get tickets to the 2008 Sydney Big Day Out, come along to the market stall area and check out all the latest mikoto shirts and badges.
“French Bulldog” has been put onto the redbubble homepage. This site is where you can order over 20 mikoto designs, and it has a huge audience of artists, photographers, designer and of course shoppers.

For all of you out there with a facebook account you can now join the group titled mikoto. I will use this to inform its members about any important news. Its hard to understand what functionality a group has at the moment but I thought as its so popular it cant hurt to set up a group.
I was going to write about my experience at the Paddington Markets after the first week but I though I’d wait till a month passed so that I had a better understanding of how it was going to be overall. Many people had said that it can be very up and down, and the were spot on.
The biggest predicament so far has been where they place my stall. the first week there, I was in the ‘platinum’ area where much of the other arts and crafts are. it was a great vibe and the people around me were really friendly. I had a constant stream of interest and sold shirts and badges frequently.
