This illustration by Jose Ortiz for client Linguagraphics makes me smile. Black cats and white rabbits are both recognized for their magical properties. The black cat as a witch’s familiar and the white rabbit as the magicians sidekick. Jose’s slick portofolio has a clean, cool finish and bears the hand of a perfectionist. His work can be found on his website www.jofolio.com.
For the past 3 years, The Koala and I have been heavily involved with the Japanese Art Festival. Neither of us are Japanese, but we have a fondness of Japanese art, culture and food. It all began when a friend who was helping with the organisation for 2010’s festival asked if we wanted to submit some artwork. Since then, we’ve not only submitted work, but also branded, advertised, promoted and helped to organise different aspects of the event. The festival was well advertised this year with flyers and posters distributed all across Auckland, magazine advertising, radio advertising, and of course the mother of all advertising for free events: Facebook. It’s a fairly big task logistically and it all paid off seeing all the people that came to the festival to enjoy the art and various events over the 3 days. It’s been a great learning curve for us and it’s great to have a hand in something like this. The festival is now in its fourth year and is held at the Aotea Centre in the heart …

A sneak peek at at one of the pieces I will be exhibiting at the Japanese Art Festival at Aotea Centre this weekend. For those of you in Auckland, the Japanese Art Festival starts this Friday and runs through until Sunday. There are lots of things to see and do on top of all the wonderful art from both Japan and New Zealand. There is a Dr Sketchy anti-art school drawing session at 1pm on Saturday. I’m a big fan of Dr Sketchy and love their macabre flavour of life drawing class. Taiko drumming demonstration on Aotea Square at 1.30pm on Sunday is guaranteed to give you goosebumps. If you missed it last year, the acoustics at Aotea Square are incredible and the drumming is not to be missed. For more information, visit the Japanese Art Festival Facebook page here. Dr Sketchy Auckland runs once a month and you can view their website here. Check out previous Tofu Tuesday posts here.

We had an amazing weekend at Splore Festival over the weekend. This year’s theme was The Island of Hooha and it was great seeing everyone dress up for the occasion. Tofu didn’t come to Splore but he still posed for a few photos with us in our costumes. Here he is with the Safari Explorer. Check out previous Tofu Tuesday posts here.
A celebratory logo redesign by Preuss und Preuss, Berlin, Germany for the zoo in Cologne, Germany. The elephant logo is the regular logo, the bunny version is the special Easter edition of the logo. I like the concept, but not the execution. The rabbit looks like he has head tilt which is a serious condition for bunnies.

So much fake stuff circulating these days. Just take a minute.
I love these leather bunny masks by NonDecaffeinatedArt over on Etsy. Priced from $25-$40 each.
Happy Monday everyone. I do rather like my red leather case from Yoobao and I would highly recomend it to anyone looking for leather case, but if you’re looking for something with a distinct bunny flavour, look no further. I’ve searched far and wide for your viewing pleasure with covers ranging from $18 to $500US, there is surely something here to suit any budget. Red Rabbit iPad Sleeve This sleeve by Feruto Bags is sold but you can get one made for you for around $500US. Made from grey german felt and red calf leather. Gorgeous. But at this price, you’ll probably want a cover to protect this cover. Nope. No sir, I don’t approve. I approve of this cover from one of my favourite bunny blogs: Disapproving Rabbits. You can get your own one for $50 from Zazzle.com. Bunny with cupcake This sweet iPad Case by Rupydetequila features an original illusration of bunny and cupcake by Ruth Fitta Schulz. Part with $100US and it is yours from Etsy.com. Silicone Rabbit. This stand features a cute pompom tail …

I started Monday Bunday over a year ago to collect and curate a selection of contemporary rabbit designs from around the world. Over the year there’s been Monday Bunday posts on graphic design, illustration and typography, fashion, art, decor and homeware, furniture, office and more. Who knew there was so much bunny stuff out there? Bunny themed designer kitchen pieces always make me squeal with glee. This week’s Monday Bunday post is a kitchen one. I present to you: Magic Bunny Toothpick Holder and Bunny & Carrot Kitchen Roll Holder designed by Stefano Giovannoni for Alessi.

For the past month or so, Georgie had been watching Tofu from through the fence, too shy to make the move. This week, Georgie, the timid cat from next door, finally came over the fence to hang out with Tofu. Georgie follows Tofu, then Tofu follows Georgie. It’s fairly even. I think they’re going to be great friends.
It’s been years since I’ve put together a GIF file. Tofu is my inspiration. Nom Nom.
