A Place Where Everything is Always Cute!
Artist Valley Booth Denver Fan Expo 2022
Our story
Hello! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bianca and I appreciate you coming to visit my little kawaii corner of the internet. I’m a first-generation Chinese-American resin artist who’s also dabbled in polymer clay, origami, and 3D printing. It all started in 2013 when I made a few pieces and posted them on Etsy thinking no one would buy them. After graduating from university with a BA in Linguistics and a Japanese minor, I found myself extremely unhappy and exhausted juggling a full-time toxic office job and my art. I finally decided to take the plunge in April 2022 to pursue my career as a kawaii artist full-time. Now traveling to anime and pop culture conventions, meeting amazing people, and chasing my dreams. I hope you’re all ready for the kawaii creative ride!
Ittsumo Kakkoii, A Husband and Wife Duo
My husband Jorel and I met in 2013 shortly after Ittsumo Kawaii’s conception. He has always believed in me and my art which is precisely why he has always been there to comfort and encourage me when I felt discouraged, or to lift heavy suitcases of stock and/or displays while selling at conventions. However, at the end of Denver Fan Expo 2021, he had expressed to me that he wanted to contribute more artistically to IK outside of just being the “muscle”. So I bought him our first 3D printer and the rest has been history. We now collaborate on items that combine both of our skills in 3D printing and resin completing me in the best way possible. All while introducing a little bit of masculine energy that I always knew Ittsumo Kawaii needed. A little bit of kakkoii.
Our first husband and wife collaboration piece(s) are these Sailor Moon 3D Printed/Resin Wall Hangings. The design ideas and colors were mine. Jorel rendered them on CAD and 3D printed the bases. From there I added real pressed flowers, glitter resin in accordance with each Sailor Guardian’s colors, and attached chains.
Our Second Husband and Wife Collaboration Piece
If you want to talk masculine energy, there’s nothing quite like Dragon Ball Z. After making our Sailor Moon pieces, we knew it was time to print the 7 dragon balls all of which were domed by me with clear resin. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as we got two sets finished along with extra 4-star dragon balls ready for Denver Fan Expo where I had the pleasure of meeting Sean Schemmel the English voice actor of Goku. It just goes to show that together powerful things can happen.
“These came out beyond stunning! The craftsmanship is gorgeous, and I can't wait to have these at my wedding with my bridal party. Bianca was so incredibly amazing throughout the whole process. She kept my updated on every step of the way and just blew my expectations out of the water. 100/10 would recommend! I will be ordering more in the future.”
