Un-commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
I've started this personal project while I was living and studying in Yokohama, Japan. It's a collection of illustrations which represent certain aspects of the Japanese contemporary society and even if it first started as a game, it ended up being my passion and a project I keep working on everyday. I think it might evolve into a comic one day.

How was the illustration used:
As a personal project, the illustrations are used by me only on my social accounts and printed on products I sell sporadically.

How did you make this work:
I've draw all of the illustrations by hand, using a really thin ink pen. I've then scanned my artworks and colored them digitally simulating the watercolor effect.
