IMPORTANT - NEW TUMBLR SITE :) !!

Dear all. Thanks for reading and following my blogs. I have exciting news - I have opened up a Tumblr website. You can view it http://kensukeokabayashi.tumblr.com/. This blog spot website will remain open. However, I will be making the transition to posting more posts and images at the tumblr website. I have found Tumblr a more user friendly service that suits my needs for posting and re-blogging art images. For those of you following, check out the new site. I hope to see you join in the "following" at Tumblr.

THANK YOU ALL - SEE YOU AT TUMBLR!

The waiting room

While I was waiting for my son, Xavier, to be delivered, nothing really describes the tension. You think to yourself, "I everybody going to be okay?"

A Walk in the Park

Walking in the Park
I recently came across a print of scarlet maple trees by a wood block artist, Hiroshige. He's not as well known by the American public compared to Hokusai. But his compositions are simple beautiful. I thought I'd try to learn and apply some of his concepts.

BRRRRR!!!

The cold weather has come!
An illustration to commemorate the impending colder weather. It's nice that it's been a lot better compared to last year's fiasco.

Smoke

I wanted to experiment a little with cloud/smoke patterns that you would see in a Japanese wood block painting. Just as I finished it, another application idea came to mind. I'll be using it on another near future piece.

The Foreigner Cover Mock Up.

I'm excited to post for the first time a Mock up cover for The Foreigner featuring Kaz. For those unfamiliar with this project, it was featured in the Brooklyn Paper as well as The Princeton Packet. The first issue is available for purchase at my website store, www.piggybackstudios.com.

Dune Buggy sounded like a fun subject to illustrate.
Well here's to a fresh new New Year 2012.
