MIMA and Mika Art Collab
We did an art contest last year with the Girls and Boys Club of Laguna Beach. Australian, 5 year old Mika was one of the winners. We loved her graphics so much that we included a bunch of them in our Fall collection “Animal Collective”. Above: Mika surrounded by some of her creations. Photo: Minor Detales Blog
