Spotlight on: paprikaSTUDIOS
Welcome to another amazing Geekery Market Spotlight! Today, we take a look at paprikaSTUDIOS! PaprikaSTUDIOS is an art studio that specializes in a Japanese style known as chibiart. Their focus is to create art, and put it on functional items for every day usage such as pillows, tote bags, and more. They are ever expanding and always trying out new ideas on how to create fun and cute art that can be incorporated in a person's daily life. The studio is a woman owned business, run by the artist, Tabi Lu.
What Else You Should Know About Them:
Describe all the geeky goodness you'll be bringing to the next Geekery Market! What kind of items will you be selling?
As I am a chibiartist, I bring all things chibi. It doesn't matter what the genre is, if I can make it a chibi, I will - much like "if there is a way, I will find a way." That means, I draw chibis from everything that can be comprised of anime, video games, comics and more. What sets me apart is that I design products to put my artworks on. paprikaSTUDIOS is mainly known for my plush pillows but I also have tote bags, tumbler cups, keychain charms, phone grips, stickers, books, stickers, and possibly more by the time the Geekery Market comes around.
