Group Show: Hello Kitty & 99 Friends at PiQ Grand Central, NYC

Sanrio has now created a total 100 adorable characters over the years, and to celebrate this achievement, PiQ has invited 100 artists to each re-create one of them in their style. I was thrilled to be invited to participate in this group show, and for my character I chose a little-remembered group called Polar Picnic. 

There aren’t too many images of thee guys online, but it seems that there are always a few listings on Ebay, so that’s where I started. 

Penguins and Polar bears are right in my wheelhouse. Here’s the Mochimochi Land version. 

I couldn’t resist include Kitty Chan herself—she’s hiding toward the back of the piece, disguised as a snowman.
