Stephan Coates

 

 Utada Hikaru (Hikki)

I love these two singers.  Stephan is the voice and writer for "The Real Tuesday Weld".  Shame that the group is not very known in the US.  The band has an awesome vintage style with a flavor for a dance beat.  Look up "Mr. Wolf" or "I Love The Rain". They're worth the listen! 

Utada Hikaru (Hikki) has been a personal favorite of mine for years.  Back when I started playing Kingdom Hearts, I fell for the opening theme, "Simple and Clean", Utada's English cover of her Japanese hit, "Hikari".  I'd say stick with her Japanese songs though, if you're looking her up.  They're very inspired, especially her single, "Final Distance".

So this is a collection of illustrations for my story, Little Lydia: The Coffee Bean Doll.  She's a tiny person with a big dream to become a poet-  thus she ventures to 1950s NYC (the lower east side).  You can imagine the trouble that ensues.  

More to come this summer... I'm interning for the talented Niki Wharton, former head artist at Fisher Price and designer of TMX Elmo as well as Sesame's Street's Abby Cadabby.
