Japanese PopArt Illustrated By Shohei Otomo

Extermination of Carp

Amazing ball point artist Shohei Otomo mashes-up old world Japan with modern themes. Permeating each page are high contrast designs and a provocative subject-matter. While image has a very distinctive look, all display the same manga-influenced style that are just begging to be silk-screened.

I’ve included a gallery with some of his (more tame) illustrations. Consider yourself warned; his drawings are powerful, intense, and often violent. A full list of his works here.

    the art is exquisitely impressive…

    its time consuming to draw and do grays with a ball point pen…

    thanks for putting up the gallery, i’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more of this guy’s work

    This was only done with a ball point pen??? See? This is just more proof of the imminent take over of the world by the Japanese… if it already hasn’t happened.
