Another week, another fabulously talented artist!  I'm pleased to introduce you to Kazumi, a Japanese artist who specializes in sock monkeys and chalk art.  Or should I say diversity?  She doesn't just stop at sock monkeys and chalk art, and has a wide range of products -- from baby clothes to coin purses to amigurumi and more.

Kazumi is a very busy businesswoman and artist and has her creations all over the internet.  Her zazzle shop includes a wide variety of merchandise featuring her fabulous, playful designs.  I'm currently visiting family for a wedding, and this design stuck out and made me grin:

You can read all about her sock monkeys here.  She has profiles of her monkeys, so you can learn all about her socky family and friends.  Just make sure to have you 5 bananas ready to pay your subscription! :)

Her chalk art can be found here.  These pieces would make a great signboard for a restaurant or kitchen, a welcome sign for a baby shower or wedding, or just as an artistic welcome to your home.  Here are two of my favorites:

But don't be fooled, she doesn't stop there!  Another etsy shop houses some of her sewing, crochet, and smaller art pieces.  Check out her coin purses and ACEO and other art!
