Local artists, local clothing. For every culture, there's a Miku.

The Miku holding a Faygo in Michigan isn't wearing ICP face paint. Culture not represented.

(I think this is a map with localized illustrations of Hatsune Miku? Hard to tell, since the website doesn’t load properly for me.)

I have been watching this on Tumblr and it has been an absolute delight. "I don't even go here" (as Tumblarians say of any fandom they're not part of) and it's still amazing to see all the art.

I've tried five different web browsers without any problem. Make sure you have javascript enabled.

My 13 year old asked me scathingly what on earth I'd sent her there. Then spent the next half hour glued to the screen discussing the artwork with her nerd friend.

I think I may be secretly cool, now.
