#wasabee

Have a great day guys, bye! 👋

One of the pieces I was especially proud of was the "What's Up, Wasa*Bee" Christmas in Japan feature I drew a couple years ago for @readwasabi magazine. It's very wordy (very limited space to work with) but packed with information - like the importance of KFC in Japan and Christmas cakes. •These articles are always a LOT of work due to the research and amount of panels involved, but I really enjoy doing these! •Sadly Wasabi magazine is on hiatus right now due to the pandemic and lack of sponsors - But here's hoping that 2021 will turn around and I'll be able to work on these strips again 😊 #jonjmurakami #wasabi #comic #cartoon #comicstrip #christmas #wasabee #japan #chigau #kfc #kfcjapan #christmascake #merrychristmas https://www.instagram.com/p/CJHaTkoDh0e/?igshid=e8dxrymrjoqg

It cannot fail

A random thought sparked in my mind about Wasabi turning into a bee. Or I should say, a Wasabee. And then I decided to design this thought in Illustrator. And then, I liked it so much, that I decided to animate it in After Effects! .

I’ve been so busy... think I’m not gonna have anything new for Maui Comic Con this weekend? (Oct 26-27, 2019)... CHIGAU!!! (Wrong) - Got a new 3” round vinyl sticker of my character, the Wasa*Bee, as featured in @readwasabi magazine! • Mahalo @stickermule for the speedy order and great deal! ^_^ #jonjmurakami #wasabee #wasabi #chigau #sticker #mauicomiccon https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-zHMPDdtu/?igshid=n4bbutrcrxtt
