Shigeko Okada illustration blog

One of my close friends in Japan sent me this weird fish image. Actually, I didn't know what this is! After I read her e-mail I knew it.

She has a beautiful daughter. Whenever I visited her home, I played clay and drew something on paper with the daughter. This weird fish was drawn by me! It was more than 6 years ago that I draw this and the daughter was about 3 or 4 years old at that time. Surprisingly, her daughter still keeps this weird fish drawing as one of her favorite things. I was so moved about that and I regret that I should have drawn more beautiful fish for a child. Here is another story that I made the daughter cry with my scared lip monster made by cray one day. When she saw what I was making, she ran away from me. Then, I chased her with the cray monster and I even said " I am gonna eat you~!". How Bad I am! I miss the daughter a lot and I want to show her my recent work. I want to get her critique on my work!
