Biennalion

The picture below is the image character I designed for 2011 Venice Biennale. 
2011年、水の都ヴェニスで開催されるビエンナーレ、イメージキャラクターの”びえなライオン”です♪「楽しくな~れ、ビエンナーレ」を合言葉に、どんどん盛り上げていくよ!

びえなライオンとは…
ビエンナーレをとびっきり楽しみたい!そんな思いを叶えるためにやってきた、ライオンの妖精。魔法で経験を宝物に変えて、「ビエンナーレのおもいでばこ」に詰めてくれる。

Biennalion is ...
A lion's fairy who came here to maximize the fun at 2011 Venice Biennale. With a magic, she turns the experiences into treasures, and fill "the box of biennale".

A book I made with a friend. Each page contains 2 strips of continuous images which respectably represent a girl’s point of view  and an old man’s point of view. I was in charge of the girl’s point of view. Creation date: February 4th 2007.

The  magazine ‘S’ was first published in 2002. I was in charge of the reader's column. My main duties were to decorate each page with illustrations, and to put comments on reader’s letters-to-the-editor.
