Tokyo Story

These illustrations are my interpretation to a weekly brief in an art Challenge I’m taking part in . It’s run by Jehane at Jehane Ltd and she’s calling it “Jehane’s Golden Thread”. The concept is very clever, we have to take an aspect (or thread) from the previous illustration and weave it into the new illustration. This results in a cohesive Collection and I’m hooked now on doing this. I look forward to the weekly briefs…. so here is my Tokyo story which will continue to be updated as I finish the illustrations | patterns.

Please contact me if you’re interested in licensing any of the illustrations | patterns or you would like to hire me to illustrate your new project or product line.
