Toronto based artist Punimelt combines elements of inspiration, girl power, and teenage daydreams in her animated short TAPIOCA. Her heartwarming and surreal animation combined with dreamy and uplifting music from Slime Girls (Pedro Silva) makes watching Tapioca something like floating in a bubblegum cloud somewhere deep in the mind of a virtual pet.
Punimelt’s shop and portfolio are filled with soft and whimsical treasures that you can check out HERE! If you want to see her designs irl, you can catch her at Anime Expo – Los Angeles Convention Center, Otakon – Baltimore, Maryland, and Otakuthon – Montreal.
Got the post donut-day blues? Don’t be sad, here’s some cute art from Donut County!
Ben Esposito, (AKA TorahHorse)’s, Donut County is a super cutesy physics game about exploring negative space with holes! Think of Katamari, except instead of starting as a small ball that gradually rolls everything up into a giant ball to shoot out into the solar system because your dad likes to destroy universes, you’re a hole that grows as you explore and solve puzzles in the game while sucking everything that you’re large enough to absorb into your bottomless void.
Featured and highly praised at independent gaming events and festivals for excellence in visual art and experimental gameplay, Ben Esposito’s creation is one of many visual/audio projects, one of those recent projects being Anamanaguchi’s Capsule Silence XXIV.

Bikkuri Sushi and Lounge is one of my favorite places in Orlando for yummy food, good drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic. They serve boba milk teas at the restaurant too!), and good vibes ❤ Kira Kira Pop welcomes everyone to have fun, cute time at their party!
It’s a free event sponsored by the ultra-cute Orlando-based label Play it Loud!, so if you’re 18+ and into all things cute, definitely come out and join the fun tonight! Cosplay and anything J-fashion is encouraged, so you don’t have to wait until the next con to show off your kawaii style 😉
