Hi everyone. I am back from Bogotá, Colombia, and back to my studio since mid-week. I will write a blog post about this amazing experience later!
For now, Communication Arts Illustration Annual 54 is officially out.

I got a new press in Japan, for Pouch, a news and entertainment site for women. And, thank god, it looks like this time it is not so controversial (as far as I had checked the article and comments).
My guess is that Japanese women love to show their powerful side? What do you think?
Thank you Ms. Anji Tabata for a really nice article including interview. (sorry press is only in Japanese, but you may want to try that “translate” button and see what you get!)
