Bubble Girl



Here's my homage to bubble tea. I did another illustration a few years ago, after I went to the Chinese section of Philadelphia and had some very tasty Bubble tea. At the time, I was barely acquainted with Illustrator, so it took me forever to do it. I liked the character, and I thought it would be fun to go back and do another illo with the Bubble girl.

here's the original:

So I'm assuming that you did the type as well? And if so, I'm assuming that you've done some graff? I'm a writer myself, but ever since we had kids, my graffiti activity has pretty much come to a halt.

Great lines, colors, character design here, James! Excellent work!

Trophiogrande-
it tastes like yummy sunshine! well... actually it's a drink made out of tea, milk, and big chewy tapioca balls that you suck through the big fat straw as you drink.

Ward-
thanks, I do draw a lot of graffiti, but never was much of a graffiti writer. I have loved graffiti ever since the early 80s-breakdancing-Beat-Street-Wild-Style-Run-DMC days. somebody say RAMO!
