About the illustrator
Born on the island of Kyushu just south of mainland Japan, multimedia artist Mie Hommura spent time in Miyazuki, Tokyo, and Nagasaki before moving to San Francisco. She describes her work as "playful and Wonderlandesque, a system of contemporary hieroglyphs whose bright colors and organic shapes are meant to express the complexities of the subconscious mind." Hommuru has worked in digital design, illustration, fashion, and plush-toy creation, or "soft sculpture." You can see more of her art online at www.sleepytiger.com or on T-shirts at the My Trick Pony store (www.mytrickpony.com).
