Tom Learns Japanese-lesson 1 the colour midori

I am currently trying to learn Japanese, I have a nice and helpful shiny Nintendo DS game what I got for Christmas that is helping me. I thought it might help me to learn if I made pictures of the things I now know. Here is the first one it is for green, which is written in Romanji as 'midori'. If you want to describe something as green you pop a 'no' in between the words, i.e. 'midori no ringo' means green apple. yum. I will be putting up more of these as I do them, you can look forward to more colours and some numbers too. Hooray!
PS if anyone who does know japanese spots any errors i'd be super grateful if you could let me know. There will be errors.

All shiny and all new Super Christmas for 2009

Here is the first Super Christmas 2009 image, its the earliest I've ever started a new Christmas book, having only finished the last one three weeks ago. The reason for the early start is that I'm ready to change Super Christmas in many ways this year and its going to take a bit to get used to it. Here is the first experiment, its the first super christmas picture made in colour (some old ones have been through photoshop but im not counting that) and the first to be drawn entirely with my trusty computer. Its also a rareity for me in that it is a landscape picture (I got asked for one a month or so ago and could only find two good ones in my portfolio so im trying to make an effort to make some). As an experiment Im pretty happy with it, Im not sayings its perfect (I'm not sure with how the text works within th picture for starters) but I think its a good road to keep following.
