Takao Nakagawa V

Takao Nakagawa is a favourite illustrator of mine and so I am using this wonderful poster, with it's great use of contrasting and unusual colour combinations and collage, to sail into the weekend.
Have a great weekend.

Takao Nakagawa IV

Today is my last day working with students this year and it is going to be a big day for amongst all the course work a request came in months ago for a (big) mural in a primary school. 
Today our last day is our first chance to do this and so we are using it as a celebration day. 
The sun is out, the picnics and packed lunches are hopefully packed and my head is full of inspiration, mainly form one of my favourite artists Takao Nakagawa. 
Please wish us good luck and speedy paintbrushes.

Takao Nakagawa's Water Mountains

 

Mountains of water, beautiful colour, jewel like boats and their reflections. Yet more magic from Takao Nakagawa.

Takao Nakagawa's Carousel Mountains In The Sky

 

These illustrations form part of Takao Nagagawa's Mountain series. I love the colours on the carousel and the collage of towns beneath the mountains that top them and I really adore this artists work in painting, illustration and graphic design.
