My name is Tamiko/ Tami, and I’m a Japanese-American printmaker and illustrator living in Portland OR. 

My work blends playful illustration with bold design, often featuring critters caught in funny, offbeat scenarios inspired by my own experiences and interests. Lately my focus has been crafting vibrant risograph products: wall prints, zines, and stationary. I also enjoy making silly illustrated products like stickers and tees.

I’ve been drawing my whole life, but in 2012 I fell in love with printmaking and chose it as my primary medium. I participated in my first pop-up in 2015, and since then I’ve been steadily building my art business.

At the heart of my practice is a drive to connect- especially with people who embrace individuality and humor. My work is unapologetically weird, and my mission is to get a chuckle or two out of you 😉
