"This is a charity project, but also I am very honoured having the opportunity to paint on a London bus panel. I'm glad that I can help someone through creation" - Mogu Takahashi
Japanese artist Mogu Takahashi (born 1984) moves between drawing, painting, sculpture and varied sorts of visual expression. Humorously, spontaneously and playfully, the images come in a constant flow of image-making. Drawing has come naturally since childhood but she initially studied architecture instead of art. It was a gallerist in New York who spotted her talent, and after being invited to a group exhibition, audience appreciation of Takahashi's work helped her decide to become an artist instead.
In 2013 Mogu Takahashi began the self-initiated project Mogu Daily Doodles, posting daily images on Instagram where she found she could connect with other artists around the world. She has had solo exhibitions in Japan, Paris, Barcelona, Melbourne and at Fine Little Day in Gothenburg, and collaborated with various brands such as GUCCI and SHISEIDO. For Fine Little Day, Mogu Takahashi has created some of our most appreciated works for children and adults with a playful mindset.

Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.
