DRAWN Again: Group Drawing Art Exhibition

New Look ♥

Ok, I feel like I am constantly changing my website's look and yes, I guess I am. BUT i have to say this is the best yet! All straight forward and no fiddling around looking for the most important thing to show, the work. Stop by and take a look. It is simple, clean and to the point. Very Cheri

Japan

I lived half my life in Japan and got to experience the culture first hand. It is a tragedy what has happened with recent events and my heart goes out to them. Being half Japanese and learning so much from my life in Japan it never came as a surprise when the people of Sendai and people taking charge in the nuclear plants pulled together to help each other. But it is still amazing. Absolutely amazing. It just goes to show how a little gesture of kindness and union can go very far.

New Look!!

You can use your own background images now!! Yay!! So this is my new look until I get the sudden urge to change it again...
Nice weather in Melbourne so the studio is nice again. Working on finishing a book. I'm half way now just another half to go. phew!
Enjoy the weekend!

New site is up and running!!

My website, verycheri.com is healthy and new. After an incident that happened a few weeks ago I thought it was time to update my website to something more functional and easier to use and maintain.

So without farther avail welcome to my new website!

James Jean Signing

This was a pretty awesome opportunity to meet someone I really admire. Went to a signing of James Jean with Rob and Sixto. Though, I never really know what to say to someone you only know through their work, I did managed to say thank you. It was great!! James Jean seemed a very humble person and patient. From all I gather I would say he's a very cool person. Thanks for coming to Melbourne, James!!
We were very lucky to get a copy of the kindling Book. It is very beautiful and bigger than I expected.

Some photos of us!!

There's always a first

I am an illustrator and I will be posting my progress, discovery, and a whole lot of other things I can't think of at the moment.

On the left is my image of a cat. I used to have a cat by the name of Cruiser and everyday no matter what time of the day as soon as we walked through that front door he is always there to greet us.
