2005 U-noa Freak Book Gentaro Araki Cover

















So vivid... and SO purple! Gorgeous!!!

U-NOA FREAK BOOK

Very RARE !!!

Artwork by Junko Mizuno/ Toko Ohmori/ Yun Kouga

A new picture collection book "U-noa Freak" was released on May 2005 by Hobby Japan publishing. Junko Mizuno did the cover illustration. It was a well-done package, which included collaborations between U-noa with several other illustrator including Junko Mizuno. The book also contained the history of U-noa and had some explanations of each part by Araki.

This book is packed full of amazing art and doll photography by artist Gentaro Araki ! It also has many clothing patterns and tutorials on how to do face ups, stringing and how to make shoes. It highlights the special features of the UNoss and Unoa bodies. It is a stunning book and a must have for the BJD collector!

Can't wait till this arrives home... not sure if Mizuno's work is only on the cover or if there's more to it!

2003 HMV Junko Mizuno promotional flyer

I LOVE...LOVE...LOVE this 2003 fold-out flyer for Mizuno by HMV. First of all it has a picture of the rare FESTIVAL 24 Fantasy Figure by Mizuno on the cover and has cut-out pieces to use it as a paper doll!!! Then it opens as a tri-fold... showing off all of Junko's Miznotic fantasy original figures, Miznotic night versions, Dokuro-san faux-leather plush, an ORANGE 2"inch Dokuro dunny, her books "Fancy Gigilo Pelu, Fairy Encylodpedia, and her 1996-2002 Fireworks. Then on the back is a picture of the FESTIVAL 24 figure again... with all of the paper doll parts on it and very small images of 8 of her other books. It kills me to see how much the books, dolls, and such were priced for way back in 2003!!! :::twitches:::

Now I know there's another color version of the 2" inch Dokuro dunny! DAMN! lol...
There's the original purple, the cool black & pink special HMV logo, now the orange!

Junko Mizuno "Fancy Gigolo Pelu" book mark

Glossy promotional hardstock book mark of Junko Mizuno's "Fancy Gigolo Pelu" by "eb!" aka enterbrain. Another find surfing the web in Japan! This marker is in mint condition and has never been used. I love finding adds and other promotional doo-dads of Mizuno's work! This book mark may be small... but I adore the printed many images of Pelu!

This comes with it's original "Enterbrain" envelope!
