This is a large, unframed, limited edition print. 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.

I will not be writing any information nor putting my signature directly on the prints, instead I will provide a certificate of authenticity which will be numbered and signed by me. This certificate can be taped to the back of the framed work. I am doing it this way from now on as I will be travelling overseas a lot in 2019. My signature on the original artworks will be visible on the prints. This will also give you the option of framing so only the artwork is visible.

This is the first artwork I created for my "Year in Japan" series. The original was created using Copic markers and coloured pencil. The work depicts a lone figure riding through a Tokyo street at sunrise. I chose to use a limited palette for this work to give it warmth as well as enhance the look of the sunrise. My style has evolved since this first piece, making it more unique. The series I created captures fleeting moments in time, with each work also representing a single month of the year. This work is one of the summer months.

The dimensions are for the size of the image. There is a border around the image for framing, which also has my signature, title and edition number on it.

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.
