I tried to express my interpretation of the character in a straightforward way, pencilling it with high energy that is my distinctive style. It was fun to draw. It's so exciting to think that a lot of people will see and wear my artwork on a T-shirt. Thank you!

So many creatives - myself included - begin their artistic journey by creating fan art. It’s exciting to see a global brand like Uniqlo embrace this through their contests and products - bringing unique takes of familiar characters to their customers around the world.
