After a year of doing almost nothing but papercraft, I have decided to get back into illustration.
Here are the first 2 pieces from my new batch.
Firstly “Death Mask 1″. With this piece I wanted to create something like an old book plate with a lot of details. Hopefully there will be a whole series of these masks as I like the style.
Secondly “Down and Out”. I wanted to test some different techniques with this one and so tried to mix photographic elements with straight vectors.
Keep your eyes peeled for many more illustrations to come.
I have also just joined the wonderful art community site Society 6 where I will be making some of my pieces available for purchase as prints.
I will of course still be producing paper toys, but intend to release just a few high quality pieces every now and then.
この一年は殆どペーパークラフトしか作っていなかったけど、この間もっとイラストを描きたいと再び思い始めた。
なので、今からイラストの方にも力を入れようと決め、早速新作を2枚描きました。
最初は「Death Mask 1」(死面)と言うイラスト。この作品は昔のエッチングの様な雰囲気を出したかった。
細かく描くこのやり方をかなり気に入ったので、シリーズにするのもいいなと思った。
二枚目は「Down and Out」(路上生活者)。
こちらは写真とイラストの部分をミックスするという新しいテクニックを試してみた。
これからイラストをどんどん描くつもりなので、また近々ブログにアップします。
最近素晴らしいアートのコミュニティ・サイト「Society 6」に参加したので、そのサイトを通していくつかのイラストを高画質のポスターとして販売する予定。
もちろんペーパークラフトも作り続けます。
ただ今までのようにシリーズものなのでどんどん作っていくのではなく
もっと時間をかけて作る【大作】を定期的にリリースしたいと思っています。

Thanks Morgan. I am really enjoying illustrating again. It is quite liberating after all that papercraft.
Eric – as I said I will of course be continuing to release paper toys now and then, so no worries on that front.

Jack-
these are looking great! I’m really digging the second one, “Down and Out”. Nice mix of elements.

Thanks Josh. As you can see Down and Out was a real break from my usual style. I have decided that trying new things is good!
Will be having a go at a Mr Sanpo custom when I have time by the way. Looking good.
