Takashi Okada of Tokyo has become the pre-eminent Floraphile in Japan. Besides being an avid customer of Jim Flora
fine art prints, Takashi recently designed the
Daisy Holiday CD package, which adapts Flora's 1947
Green Mansions resort brochure illustration (licensed from the Flora estate). Additional Flora elements appear on the jewel case inlay and in the booklet.

Here's a Tokyo record store display flush with Flora. If you don't live in that part of the world, the CD is available from
Amazon,
cdUniverse, and
YesAsia. When this display is taken down, someone is gonna have a rare Flora
Daisy Holiday poster.
Takashi is also publishing a compendium of over 150 feline images from record album covers. The book's front will be adorned with Flora's classic 1955
Mambo For Cats RCA Victor LP illustration, and the back will feature a piano-perched kitty from the Shorty Rogers-Andre Previn
Collaboration EP. We'll provide more info about the book upon publication.

really nice composition. Better than jazz albums that he used to make the nice covers.
This drawing is very static, but the ventilator seems that is giving all fresh air the cat needs.
Colorcombination, seems that can not be improved.
Genious
