Inspiration

No one has ever asked me for my most memorable des

No one has ever asked me for my most memorable designs, but let me share some with you / ⁣
⁣
WAVE BLOOM is definitely one of my most challenging but rewarding designs created / ⁣
⁣
My idea for WAVE BLOOM was to pay homage to the original "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" with a modern twist, I always thought the waves in the original work resembled petals so that was the starting point of my new design /
⁣
Breaking down individual elements of the original work, I re-grouped the waves into flowers, added fisherman among the petals and mount Fuji as the pistil to keep resemblance of the original work / ⁣
⁣
I sketched out all elements before inking it to create clean lined artworks, the artworks are then scanned, traced, assembled and coloured as vector /⁣
⁣
The initial process of colouring did not yield the look of a wood block print I wanted, I created textures with flicking ink from a toothbrush for a hand press printed appearance that also adds depth and authenticity to the overall design / ⁣
⁣
Another issue was the design of the branches, initially I sketched out the branches in a similar style as the blooms but when the elements were combined the branches appeared flat and sterile and did not fit into the overall aesthetics, I went back to look for inspiration from old Edo prints and found a beautiful tree from a blossom print which I retraced, and worked perfectly with the overall aesthetics / ⁣
⁣
If you have read this far you deserve a medal and my gratitude for your interest in my humble designs - look forward to share more with you / ⁣

"They shall grow not old,⁣
as we that are left grow old;⁣
Age shall not weary them,⁣
nor the years condemn.⁣
At the going down of the sun⁣
and in the morning⁣
We will remember them."⁣
