    We Power KEXP

    I was lucky to be asked to design a shirt for KEXP a couple months ago, and I was eager to do so because I love silkscreens, and I love music as well.  The shirt I made was off of my most popular print of "Denshin Poles", which was so popular it sold out.  Here is the design below, to get yourself one and to support a great cause give your pledge today.

    Nihontown Canvas Print available online.

    Enfu is pleased to announce the Enfu Stretch Canvas Print is now more accessible to my out of state and International buyers!  The canvas print already made is huge and makes it very difficult and expensive to ship.  Also when collectors fly overseas to buy art on vacation, they'd bring back a rolled up version of the canvas to have it stretched/framed locally.  

    Now rolled up with my signed, numbered vertical canvas bar you can drop by any frame store and have them make it for you, having them including the vertical bar in the frame.

    Sakuracon 2009 recap

    Sakuracon was like one of my new illustrations.  Color explosion.  I was blown away.  

    This year was my first year at Sakuracon ever, and I had an exhibitor booth.  I just watched people pass by it was amazing.  I would say more than any other place I've exhibited, Emerald City Comicon or Akimatsuri, Sakuracon by far had the most people reacting to my works.  It was a great feeling, thanks.  The most popular prints by far were 'Nihontown' and the new 'EnFuBar' prints.  The new prints will be posted in the catalogues section soon.  Until then the only place you can get them in the Seattle area is at Kobo.

    Emerald City Comicon 2009 Recap

    ECCC was great this year.  Thanks for all your support.

     

     We had a record turnout for Bungie Artists:

    Milton Cadogan, Robt McLees, Lorraine McLees, Tom Doyle, Frank Cappezuto, Shi Kai Wang, plus Issac Hannaford came and joined us along with many other Bungites.  We ended up signing a few Halo books and figures, but our time was mostly spent just selling prints, drawing, or chatting it up with peeps.

     

    Some more pics after the jump.

    DIY Enfu.  

    I spend a lot of time researching.  Whether it be looking for reference images for me to base my illustrations off of, or how to make something, it all has to be gathered information.  Sometimes I'm lucky enough to have a resourceful colleague giving me sweet droplets of pure concentrated aged wisdom.  But most of the time I'm on my own to find things out for myself.

    So I've gathered a lot of hopefully useful information and mainly links for all you DIYers out there.  Links of services I'd like to use and of services I have used.  I'm not being paid to recommend them, I like sharing good finds and hopefully it will save you time.

    Anti Japanese video after WBC win.

    So I followed the World Baseball Classic on Twitter.  I didn't have it on TV, and I wasn't even planning on watching it until people started posting inning by inning what was happening.  

    I honestly was rooting for Korea a bit because I like rooting for the underdog, and I believed Korea had more to prove, and a childhood classmate was also on their team.  Japan was the defending champs, so they'd already won one, I say let another team win one and we'll all be happy.  Not to mention most of my close friends in high school were (still are, I hear its a good choice) Korean, and my dear brother in law is Korean as well ... so all that to say when its down to the wire Korea vs. Japan I'm not all that vocal of my support of either.

    So when it went 3-3 into extra innings I really would've been happy whomever had won, as its a win for all Asian Americans for that matter.  

    So naturally since I didn't see the game I went searching for footage of the highlights and I got quite an angry video, more like a slideshow with a bot voice over which first was a bit shocking and frightening.  But now I find kind of funny and childish.

    This first image is the tamest of the bunch.  Warning, graphic language and slightly graphic images below.

     From the looks of the bruises on his feet it looks like he HAS kicked a couple asses.

    NihonTown Bamboo Veneer

     This is far from an introduction to the piece, as it was revealed at Enfu's debut art show at Kobo in August of 2008.  But this is the first time I've posted pictures on this site.  Only 3 of these prints exist.  

    I decided that hyper limited edition sets like these and my canvas prints I won't sell on my site, but at outlets that carry my work and at conventions (more on this soon).

    One set will be going to the 2009 Wing Luke Art Auction.

    If you want to buy the last piece please contact Kobo.

    Well without further ado, here are the pics:
