Here we go! Since i’ll turn 30 next monday i thought it would be fun to work on a little sketch series. The first one will contain five sketches of tv shows i know i enjoyed watching as a child. So let’s start!
Unico
Facts: Unico is a manga and anime character by Osamu Tezuka. Unico’s first movie, titled The Fantastic Adventures of Unico in English and simply Unico in Japan, was released in Japan on March 14, 1981.
I was really, reaaaaally young when Unico aired in germany and before i rewatched it a few weeks ago, i just remembered bits of the movies. So i was “shocked” when i found out that Unicos story is actually pretty sad.
Keeping myself busy as I wait for my sample shirt and holographic galaxy Unico poster proof to come in the mail! Ha ha it started as a single shirt project but now I’m going to have 5 different versions!! Thinking of starting an Indiegogo for them all…In the meantime I’ve been designing 3 in buttons. #buttons #unico #osamutezuka #indiegogo #tshirtdesign #supercuteness https://www.instagram.com/p/BmuaZ6yAYSY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4ftfcqfenh5y
I don’t use this account for most recent cosplay stuff (lol still a FB user) but instead i’ll be branching out with IG to promote my vintage anime merchandise, starting with all the Unico! This account will be much more active now with new anime/game/fanart related endeavors! Obviously I’ll still be posting showcase cosplays. Who loves Unico shirts?? #unico #teeshirtdesign #tshirtdesign #pastels #supercute #osamutezuka https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmr3m4pAlyB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t953p8pwm6p8
