New sculpture sites up

Since this site is kind of all over the place and isn’t the easiest to navigate, especially if you don’t read English well, I made a new site specifically for my sculpture fans in Japan: aguunoaichan.wordpress.com and another one for my sculpture/graphic design collaborations with Rody Parker: hakuai.wordpress.com Check ‘em out!

Ai-chan accessories now being sold at Neo Park!

Yay!  Big mahalos to the folks at Neo Park in Nago for giving me a new line.  I’ll be taking custom orders for necklaces, straps, figures and more of people’s favorite Neo Park animals. Here are some examples of the accessories for sale…

Fan painting at Taiwan Airport: only 120 yen!

That’s a whopping $2 if you insist on paying in dollars – convert your money and save. Who knew a 12-hour layover at the airport could be so much fun?  Too bad I discovered the fan-painting area an hour before our flight after walking/sitting watching Friends on my husband’s laptop and playing Nintendo DS for [...]

Welcome to the Champloo!

ハイサイ!I’m Aiko Miyamoto, an aspiring writer/illustrator of children’s books from Okinawa, Japan.  This site is a collection of photographs of some drawings, illustrations, and sculptures I’ve done recently.  This should go without saying, but don’t use these images without my permission, as doing so will violate international copyright laws, and worse, make you a bad, [...]
