[T-shirts]

[T/N: I found a random blog entry from a fan who was claiming Nagoya castle was especially famous for shachihoko decorations, = Nagoya dialect = Poland, so his shirt is supposed to confirm their LietPol feels. Which is cute and also shows it’s not only the Western fandom searching for hints in every detail. Poland’s shirt says I ♥ Mabuyaa – mabuyaa being the devil in Okinawian folklore and also a hero of a series inspired by Okinawian tales. Ryūjin Mabuyer]

Wait! Lunar New Year!


Hello, if you’ll notice, the Lunar New Year has ended! I’m Himaruya Hidekazu.

Every year during the Lunar New Year, a bunch of stands get set up in Chinatown and dragons parade around, so if you’re ever in NY during the Lunar New Year, make sure to stop by!
Every year, that kind of stuff [in the drawing] is being sold at the shops and I always wanna buy it, but every year I’m just let loose…


Part of a rough draft of Romano. Romano’s so easy to draw, I love it.

アニメやるんだぜ!

■We’re making an anime together!■

一緒にアニメ作ることになりました。


…it won’t turn out like this, so it’s fine.

[Animation Joint Production in Korea]
The formalities on this page is like AmeComi’s.
I’m looking forward to how it’ll turn out.

[RETAS]
It’s an anime production soft.
The newest version just came out, and it looks super easy to use!

[T/N:
-In the first panel, the kanji in China’s bubble is his laugh, I think.
It was in the original, so I left it like that. Same with Korea’s.
-AmeComi is short for Ame Comi Quest which is for American Comics or something. ]

■Anime Drawings■

Craftsman art.

There was really someone who did it!

Excavation of Brian Boitano Part 9


This was the beginning of the horror of the Shut Up T-shirts…


I’m pretty sure this is in the manga section, but I’ll upload it here too.


When you crop his face right here, he looks kinda weird.

Mini character series.




I ended up drawing a new set of illustrations, but I like these too, so I’m posting them here.

Up Until Now There Are Something Like 7 Illustration Summaries?




HOSODA-sama series.


Because in a New York Japanese newspaper, half the space was used up by Hatsune Miku
and a declaration of her as “my wife”, I drew Hatsune Miku.
I’m sure that perhaps having used the newspaper’s half as a my wife declaration just also done by that person before.

Italian Prime Minister says “It’s hot, so I’ll pass”


The Italian Prime Minister says about the Olympics, “It’s too hot, so I didn’t go.”

Despite the world being so large, only Italy can pull off being absent with this kind of reason.
Italians are so cute!

[T/N: To clarify the above→: “Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi announced yesterday that he will not attend the Olympic Games opening ceremony but gave the weather as his only reason: “I have been told that is very hot in Beijing, more than 50 degrees, and that there is a lot of humidity. I won’t go.” Italy will be represented by foreign minister Franco Frattini.”]
