the Economist 1843 magazine

Hello Thursday.

As I said, just getting around to updating my portfolio. I completed these illustrations for The Economist 1843's 'Japan Travel Supplement' earlier this year. Included below are a bunch of sketches that missed the mark, but I had fun with them, so I included those here as well.

Also got to draw a woman skier in a kimono for a spot illustration on the inside. Check it out below.

The final artworks can be seen here. Check it out! :)

Illustration for The Genteel 2

Also just finished this one with a new look and feel (for me) for the wonderful folks at The Genteel! This time around I got to get a little drawing time with Twiggy's face. (I need to definitely draw more of her.)
