Super awesome job again, Kei!

Bobby- I won't be at Wondercon. I will be in Taiwan for Chinese New Year. We actually didn't get our tables for Comic con, either. So we'll see!

Happy Holidays!

wow Kei, that billboard is awesome. I still have some photos I took at my local Borders, but I don't have the means to dowload them yet. Not as good as the other photos you've gotten, but I saw tons of people getting their books wrapped in two different types of Holly or Marshmallow wrapping paper. I hope you get to see a store in person soon.

Hello Kei,
I'm Serena from Holland and I just received the book Fairy Sketches today. I really enjoyed watching it and its giving me inspiration to draw again. I wish you and Bobby all the best in 2008 with lots of fantasy, inspiration and luck. I love Marshmallow by the way, so cute! Ok, bye! Kind regards, Serena.

My spouse and I stopped into a Borders on the day after Christmas and I fell in love with Marshmallow and Holly. I wanted to take all of the store displays home with me!

I'm so happy to see them on your site. I purchased a print to remember them by.

Thank you. They're such a delight. I had such fun roaming around the Imaginism store. I'll be back.
