Welcome to the wonderful world of Giorgiko, the collaborative brain-child of husband-and-wife artists Darren and Trisha Inouye.  “Wonderfull” is an exploration of human nature through the childlike characters who inhabit the Giorgiko universe. The characters embody feelings of desire, fear, insecurity, and love common to humankind.
