Artwork Description

This is a large, unframed, limited edition print. It is titled and signed. The edition number is 2/50. The colours of the print are almost identical to the original. For this print I have used a higher quality, textured paper. The paper colour is slightly off white and more in keeping with the paper used for the original. You can see the texture of the paper in the photos.

The original artwork was the 11th piece for my "Year in Japan" series of 12. It was created using Copic markers and pencil on watercolour paper.

This work represents spring. The work is a scene of a famous laneway in Tokyo which is now called "Memory Lane". There are many Yakatori restaurants there. They hang fake flowers and leaves in the laneway, depending on the time of year. Because it is spring, there are fake cherry blossoms. I love the intensity of the colours in this piece.

I love comic book style illustrations and animation so wanted to create an artwork in a similar style. I love Studio Ghibli films and also wanted to capture an everyday scene in Japan. I didn't use a ruler for any of the lines as I wanted to give it less of a realism/photographic look and more hand drawn.
