Learning Japanese

My sister is almost fluent in Japanese. She's been to Japan, hosted an exchange student and is all around immersed in the culture. In other words, she is a HUGE asset to me! We worked together the other day to come up with some new designs for my show at Otakon in July. She supplies the translation, I supply the design. Check out what we came up with.

Za! - Drama

Kira Kira - Sparkly

Gaa - Blushing

Doki Doki - Heartbeat

Zawa Zawa - Chatter

They are all commonly found in manga, just like WHAM, POW and BOFF are found in American comics. I'm really happy with how they turned out! Don't forget to come by and say hi if you're in Baltimore on July 17th-19th. Artscape is going on the same weekend, so it's just another great reason to take a day off and enjoy the Inner Harbor.
