I'd love to hear the reasons for you deciding to draw this, haha! Was it just a random idea? Or part of a project?

Mark Mcfarlane Hi Mark, Thanks for the question! I am working on an illustration called "Totally Nuts", it's a print for a lunch bag/box. During the sketching process, while thinking of what would crazy nuts do, this idea just came up.. So it's a random idea within the project... :-)
But probably, because it's a commercial product, it won't make it into the final artwork..

Haha! Thanks for the info. It's great to learn some of the background to it!

Thank you, Mark, for the interest! Btw, are you organising again a big meet-up in Yoyogi-Park again? This was so fun... お願い致します... :-)

Yeah we'd like to do something soon, although we don't have any specific plans yet I'm afraid. :)
