Marcellus Hall made my (holi)day by sending me a “Yuko-style” drawing. Cracks me up! So, what is up with that chu-chu train, Marce? To see what Marcellus actually draws, go visit his site.

Happy one year anniversary to SHY STUDIO, which my studio-mates, John Hendrix (illustrator, art director), Katie Yamasaki (muralist, art teacher) and I started when we finished grad school. “SHY” is named after first letters of our last names.

Also, I just moved back to Upper West Side in Manhattan from Greenpoint, Brooklyn where I lived for past 3 years. Although it was a bit sad to leave my memories behind with 99 Sutton St. loft, May was a month of new begginings.

I am a lucky person to have friends like you who inspire me and stimulate my creative brain as well as my “play brain”! (left: comic superstar Paul Pope, amazing illustrator and musician Marcellus Hall and me).

It has been a year since I graduated from SVA MFA Illustration program. It is my friend Ai Tatebayashi‘s turn. She is a very talented illustrator with a great sense of humor. Keep watching her progress! (right: after her thesis show).

1) Sorry for not up-dating my site for a while… My schedule has been crazy. Right now, I am working with amazing fashion photographer Cleo Sullivan for the second time. M.A.C. Cosmetics promotional film directed by Cleo, set design by Yuko. For their new fall make up line.

2) Another school year has just ended at SVA, but this time, me as an instructor. On May 5, my senior students had open studios and it was so much fun. I cannot express in words how much I learnt from teaching them, and how much they encouraged me to keep going. Thank you guys. I will miss you all a lot!
