TokyoToys ‘Coco Monkey’
TokyoToys is a UK retailer specialising in the sale of Anime/Manga merchandise imported from Japan. In 2005 when the company had just started up, I was approached by the owner to design a mascot for the business, and thus Coco Monkey was born! Since then the popularity of TokyoToys skyrocketed as Coco adorned t-shirts, tote bags, mugs, and pin badges. An official plush soft toy was amongst the fan favourites of Coco products. I designed a range of Limited Edition parody t-shirts featuring Coco dressed up in costumes from various popular franchises, which were sold in small batches. In addition to the online shop and trading at conventions, TokyoToys also have physical stores currently open in Birmingham, Glasgow and Sidcup. View Project FEATURED ON BBC NEWS

Genki Gear T-Shirt ‘Lilith’
Genki Gear are a UK-based company who produce apparel heavily influenced by Japanese culture, Anime and Sci-Fi.
I was commissioned to create an original design for a Limited Edition release, so I created one based on my original character 'Lilith' which was produced as t-shirts, hoodies and jackets. They were sold online and at London MCM Expo.
The 'Lilith' design was well-received by customers and garnered media attention - it was featured in NEO Magazine and Animetion UK. These items sold out shortly after its launch in October 2009.
