Russian Livejournal user dkphoto has visited Jeju Teddy Bear Museum in South Korea and took a bunch of photos of the museum’s treasures. Here are the links to his photo stories: 1, 2, 3, you don’t have to know Russian to be able to admire the beauty of the pictures.

The best part of the exhibition is the “Role of Teddy Bears in World Art”, pretty impressive versions of famous masterpieces, or rather a chance to see how they would have looked if teddy bears ruled the world. So kawaii! Here are several most recognizable paintings and sculptures.

The first artist featured in Fashionably Cute’s Gallery is Hiromi Sato, a fashion illustrator with a unique and delicate style. Hiromi literally paints with lace (view more pictures and info after the jump).

I’m very excited to announce Fashionably Cute’s new project: a gallery of profiles of modern Japanese artists and illustrators. The gallery will feature artists from different genres: fashion illustrators, interior designers, textile and teddy bear artists, etc. They will have only one thing in common: their works are unbelievably cute!
