Originally from Osaka, designer/illustrator Toshiyuki Fukuda relocated to Kichijoji, Tokyo. He received his B.A. in design from Osaka University of Arts. His illustrations of nostalgic yet strange animals and characters have appeared on a wide range of products ranging from CD covers to greeting cards to children’s books. How adorable are these? Don’t forget to check out the cute plushies.

Wonderful! I want to buy his postcards at least! And i can’t find the softies on his site – did you mean that he had softies, or just illustrations that could be softies? Focused on Softies :)
I would love to get my hands on one of these. Can you imagine having an original hanging in the house?
Another great find…thanks so much for sharing with us.
