grown to become one of the most popular, professional indie
illustration studio dedicated to promoting Japanese pop culture while
having fun drawing, both for ourselves and for others.

customer and product & ensures quality work is produced.”

further funds.

8. Draw Fans & Goodwill
With over 3 million views and over 15k fans on Facebook over the
