Artist's Comments

These are Avatar-themed kokeshi dolls. They are ~2 inches tall and are made of wood and then hand-painted with care.

On sale at Anime North, May 23-25, 2008 in the Artist Alley. Look for these, cute fruit pins, tOFU comics and Zelda doujinshi. See you there!


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Kokeshi (小芥子 ), are Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face.

Traditional Kokeshi (Dento) dolls shapes and patterns became particular to a certain area.

Creative Kokeshi (Shingata) allow the artist complete freedom in terms of shape, design and color and were developed after World War II (1945). They are not particular to a specific region of Japan and generally creative Kokeshi artists are found in the cities.

Your mind has been transported back in time. And to Mars.

Unfortunately Aang is missing from this shot.

We were dressed as Avatar cosplays (Katara, Toph, Sokka and Zuko) and I believe you got a photo of us each holding our character (w/ our extra friend holding Aang). ^_^
