Art Work
I drew my first sketches for money when I was about 7 years old. 30 years later I started working as a freelance illustrator and animator. I've designed logos, characters, t-shirts, uniforms, web sites, press kits, flyers, and catalogs. Some of my current clients include Warner Brothers, Kodansha Publishing, Byakuya Shobo Publishing, K-1, and others. I've created illustrations for children's magazines, storyboards, advertising, textbooks, posters, dvds, fanzines, and comics.

Examples of my illustrations can be found on the Portfolio page. I also enjoy creating art prints, doing art exhibitions, and commissions. Prints and other neat stuff can be found on the Shop page.
