Look what THEY drawed: 21 again!

Yesterday was my birthday and I got some amazing cards, including these hand-drawn designs...

Me riding a Hulked-Out Yoshi by Augstine Coll...


Embracing my recent love of the Olympics, by Chie Miyazaki...


Soju Tanaka customised this card design by Rachel Ortas...


...and drew these characters inside! :)


A penguin party by (clockwise from top left) Richy K Chandler, his wife Tibah, their 5-year old son Emir, and their uber-talented cat Suki Kabuki...


Thanks for all my cards and birthday wishes! It's great to have such awesome friends! :)

Street Fighter X Mario Kart

Yesterday, to mark the 25th anniversary of the original Street Fighter being released in Japanese arcades, as well as the 20th anniversary of Super Mario Kart being released on the Super Famicon in Japan, I drew a picture with Zangief from Street Fighter being beaten by Yoshi in a Mario Kart race.

Today it's time for Yoshi to see how he does at some Street Fighting...



...Better stick to the driving Yoshi!

Mario Kart X Street Fighter

On August 27, it was 20 years since Super Mario Kart was released for the Super Famicon in Japan, and on August 30, it had been 25 years since the original Street Fighter was released in Japanese arcades. As these are two of my favourite video game series, I decided to draw something to celebrate the occasion...

Happy Birthday Shigeru Miyamoto!

Today is the 59th birthday of Shigeru Miyamoto. As a designer and producer at Nintendo he has been responsible for many of my favourite video games over the years. Happy Birthday to him!
