Silvia worked as a graphic designer until she started working on her true passion: illustrating. Her illustrations can certainly be defined as kawaii and I think she has been inspired by designers like Meomi and Tokidoki. Nonetheless Silvia developed her own style and the characters and soft colour tones make the pictures stand out. Bukubuku is really worth a visit!

P.S. Please come back tomorrow, I will have a small giveaway of cute wallets / coin purses

I’ve decided to give the Monthly Spotlight a new try, with shorter entries. Each month I will place a link to a site that I think is worth visiting.

This month I want to bring www.Paxjah.com to your attention. Angélique aka Paxjah is a pixel artist, who first started out with dolling and has been pixelling for 9 years now. I think her experience definitely shows in her work. She has worked with several online RPG sites -like Whuddleworld- and created icons and avatars for many other clients. Please check out her cute gallery and adoption section.

Before I start this story please take notion of a little tutorial I made about how to organize and cutify your Gmail and iGoogle. Oh and on a totally random note; the new iPhone has finally been announced! This is so going to be my new phone everything. It has even got a compass -no idea why I would need that - and can tell you what song is playing. Recognizing songs once was my job, really. I wonder when the iPhone will be able to build websites…

Now on to the site of the Month. This time it’s Bibi’s turn. I’ve been admiring her work for years. She’s not only a great character designer, but also creates the best pixels. Last but not least she’s responsible for my lucky poo -unchikun- facination. Just click on “work” and navigate with the menu on the right to go through her illustrations.

One last thing that I want to point out are her smilies. They’re now available for download .
