Illustrations

My illustrations are drawn on a iPad.

My starting point was years ago when I lived in Tokyo and learned about the Japanese woodblock prints and how the motive is simplified to get a more graphical look.

My base is a photo I have taken and then I start drawing over to get the picture I’m after – something like Japanese woodblock meets Pop Art.

These process takes time, but I have always liked to draw, hearing music, radio or just in silence …

I print all my illustrations on museum quality paper from Hahnemühle and up to A2+ I do it in my studio on a professional printer from Canon.

“Sunset Colours” – based on a picture from the Mori Tower, Roppongi, Tokyo.

“The Tulips” were just standing before on the table when I was looking for a new motive.
