CUTESY *SPARKLE* BATHROOM* UTENSIL* *POWER*ATAAAACK! HIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
For this card I wanted to japano-cute-ify the most mundane everyday object that was within my imaginative power, partly for comedic value (OK, mostly for that....) and partly to avoid copyright infringement litigation on possible anime trademark characters: <3
My friend was a big fan of a modern j-pop group "perfume" with their album "game" being the most talked about and easiest to source for a western audience ("Polyrhythm" in my opinion being a blatant two months off (Underworld) ripoff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PrYKtahrWU). Personally my own J-pop/tekno tastes being far more inclined to exploring the heights or by own back orifice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKBomPHWTYQ, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0gekjzmJeE, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAlPhIBWhsA) I can't say I'm a huge fan.. maybe if they did a cover of mermaid song.... but it seems unlikely (one day I plan to record my own westernised cover of Gemini): <3
Given the whole kawaii theme a toothbrush seemed like the most logical choice. Complete with large enveloping sparkle eyes of a million burning love colours, wooshing cloud hyper magical speed attack shining star effects and a liiiiiittle cuddly bow tie. This all really gives the effect of a beautiful uber powerful toothbrush hero flying through a sakura-leaf wonder love palace paradise and hopefully doesn't leave the reader asking spurious assertions about my sexuality. Inside the card the wooshy shiny theme was kept alive with silver and gold pen with lots of billowing anime clouds and Pop font styles, quite minimal, but quite effective. I was tempted to give every letter huge eyes... but it seemed too much like hard work... and being a bit of a lazy bugger, settled with this stark and elegant compromise.<3
Next time you are brushing your teeth extra hard for the dentist, just keep the image of this card in mind and try to keep brushing despite all the froth and rage... 3:
