Designer Bag, Eco Bag, Niko Niko Boy, uwajimaya I was thankful that to participate in Akimatsuri 2009 put on by ENMA.
This year I was selective in what I showed, and had heavy promotional help from Uwajimaya, Ibuki, andBlue C Sushi.
I showed the Niko Niko Boy print with the help of Uwajimaya's new fall designer bag. They are a limited run of 600 and sell for $4.99 somewhere around/after September 17th. More details to follow.
Ibuki's debut magazine issue featured all the J-Chix driving people to recognize these before they even came to my booth.
Also many people mentioned they've seen enfu at Blue C both in SouthCenter and in Bellevue.
Thank you all for so much cross promotional opportunities!! Akimatsuri is one of the bigger gatherings of Japanese Nationals in this region. I would then say Bon Odori is the biggest gatherings of Nikkei people in the area.

Enfu, akimatsuri, bluecsushi, enma, ibuki, j-chix, uwajimaya Hiroki is a small dessert and cafe located in North Seattle near Greenlake. It was a perfect location for a nice cozy enfu opening. The show runs through September 2009. Take your little feet and get your body there to view the fu.
I debuted two new pieces here.
1. Niko Niko Boy Poster / Uwajimaya Designer bag.
I was very lucky to be able to design their fall bag for them, which well be sold at Uwajimaya for $4.99. The bag is limited to only 6,000, so we'll see how fast these puppies sell out.
2. NihonTown Minis:
I've released many versions of NihonTown, only because of the demand for more. I've delivered the NihonTown Minis. These are small snippets of NihonTown on stretch canvas. They have a branded enfu logo on the back, and are easy to hang anywhere in your house. They make great gifts and are easy to pick up. Kobo will carry them starting next week. More on these on a later post.
You can view the set of pictures from this show here on enfu's flickr page.
Enfu, Hiroki, Nihontown Mini, Niko Niko Boy Did a day trip to Portland for the art opening. So worth it. Thank you Compound for putting on a great show and packing the entire place with so many awesome people!!
The show was: Textbook History: Pikadons Diptych is the new piece shown, which depicts both of the nuclear weapons of mass destruction being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

You may have recently seen the Ibuki Magazine placed in your favorite local restaraunt in the Seattle area. Ibuki is a free magazine about Japanese food and culture. It's a great guide to local restaraunts and a great crash intro course into the culture of the Rising Sun.
Luckily, enfu is featured in the arts section in an article:
"A Samurai Cowboy's Take on Japanese Girls"
So check it out y'all.
Ibuki Magazine Some of you already know, but Enfu has infiltrated Portland! I will be there at the show opening on September 3rd at 7pm.
Here is the show information. Be there.

Enfu, Pikadons Diptych, compound gallery, portland, show Introducing Milkie Roll. Come get your Milkie Roll on.
Tootsie Rolls and Milky are both very iconic chewy candies of Chocolate and Milk flavor.
The girl in the background is the mascot for Fujiya’s Milky candy. She alone is a very recognizable as a childhood symbol of candy in Japan.
Milkie Roll is meant to be childhood innocence concentrate.

Enfu, Mlikie Roll, screenprint Friday, July 17, 2009 at 8:05AM | enfu Bungie did a "Broken In" interview with me and this is the self portrait I drew in an enfu style. I had fun doing this piece, I hadn't done a self portrait since school. I definitely learned a lot doing this piece. You can read the whole interview here.
