It's classic – it's Clamp

I'm a bit of a fan of girls kicking ass, so it's no surprise that I have a soft spot for the Japanese artist group Clamp. This all girl group formed in the 1980s with much of the manga they create translating into anime. I must have been about 14 years old when I devoured the first season of Cardcaptor Sakura, subbed in all its Engrish glory. I thought it would be fun to take an element of this series for my next illustration project!

Cardcaptor Sakura is about 10 year old Sakura and her adventures after she accidentally releases a set of magical cards called Clow Cards. Each card has its own personality and characteristics and can be activated to use it's unique traits. I thought it might be a bit of fun to make my own Clow Card... now to decide what the personality of the card will be!
