About Tamiko Sidore Studio

I’m a Japanese-American printmaker and illustrator creating vibrant risograph prints, zines, greeting cards, stickers, and pins. My work blends playful illustration with bold design, often featuring critters—shrimp, slugs, and other crustaceans—caught in funny, offbeat scenarios inspired by my own experiences and interests. I’ve been drawing my whole life, but in 2012 I fell in love with printmaking and chose it as my primary medium. By 2015 I was hosting my first pop-up, and since then I’ve been steadily building my art business. At the heart of my practice is a drive to connect—especially with people who embrace individuality and humor. My work is deeply personal, unapologetically weird, and designed to spark in you the same joy I felt while creating every piece.Read their story
