I remember first finding this illustrator way back, maybe in ‘97 or so. I loved Sanrio, so I loved her Sanrio-like characters, but at the same time I love Johnny The Homicidal Maniac, so I loved the darkness. I think in a way, her stuff is one of my influences, in the blend of cute cute cute with somewhat disturbing. Many of the things I do are at first glance oh so cuddly and cute, but when you take a moment to think about it, it gives you the heebie jeebies.
But enough about me! Let’s watch Mari-chan’s new promotional video, featuring her art and singing, to music and animation by BRL Studio and clearloversoul. Watch it here!
I also recommend checking out her cast of characters and other and other visual goodies, like my favorite illustration “Menstrual Dreamer”, at her website, marichan.com.
