Characters

Personal Project

Collection of character designs I developed over the years. Most of them were done during my stay in Japan in 2004.angel1

Angel character developed for use (on business cards and Meipuru totebag) for a short period for self logo since my name ‘Seiko’ means ‘angel’, ‘holy child’ ‘pure soul’ (or literally child of Saint) in Japanese.
