We did an art contest last year with the Girls and Boys Club of Laguna Beach.  Australian, 5 year old Mika was one of the winners.  We loved her graphics so much that we included a bunch of them in our Fall collection “Animal Collective”.  Above:  Mika surrounded by some of her creations.  Photo: Minor Detales Blog

What is your favorite thing to draw?

My favorite thing to draw is unicorns and dinosaurs and butterflies and hairy monsters that are cheeky.

Sometimes I see something I like around me and I try to draw that or something just pop into my head and then I draw that.

I would like to make monsters like my dad does on the computer.

A bear biking

What is one thing that you wish you could do but can’t because you are a kid?

To stay up late!

What is your favorite thing to do?

Playing, I do a lot of playing and drawing and swimming in the ocean.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

Japan, because that is where Totoro comes from.
