10 years ago I worked on a huge project for Meiji Japan’s 100th anniversary — a parade illustration travelling the length of Japan. Shown in Shibuya Station, printed nationwide, award-winning, and still on display in the Meiji Museum. Grateful this one lives on.

Italian artist @irenepowder created our newest cover, inspired by the futuristic atmosphere of Tokyo 🇯🇵✨
From its endless skyline to its dynamic street life, the city’s unique blend of old and new inspires Irene’s use of colour and light.

For our newest cover, @katiecowardillustration was inspired by her first trip to Japan, and a quiet early-morning moment, that gave her a glimpse of a very different side of Tokyo.

I’ve just come back from spending an amazing two weeks teaching students illustration in Yerevan, Armenia.
We went out drawing on site, documented the tradition courtyards and creating a final book!
A huge thank you to the students and staff at @tumocenter!
I was sent this photo of someone displaying the print from my solo show in their house in Niijima.
Makes me genuinely happy that people on the island want my work in their homes.
Thank you @islands_tokyo & OIGIE for the photo!

Coming from Australia, where space has never been an issue, @scrambledlines fell in love with Tokyo’s narrow streets and compact buildings. His animated cover beautifully captures the incredible architecture that gives the city’s neighbourhoods a character unlike anywhere else.
‘Summer of Sport’ ☀️🏆
Two World Cups, Wimbledon, F1, the Commonwealth Games and more. All in one summer!
When I realised June alone would feature two World Cups alongside Wimbledon, I created this illustration to celebrate an incredible Summer of Sport.

Process video from a recent piece inspired by Lisbon.
I started with one idea, but the drawing gradually took on a life of its own. A nice reminder that some of the best ideas appear when you stop forcing the plan.
Congrats @nyknicks! 🏆🟠🔵
As a Knicks fan growing up in the '90s, seeing them win it all in 2026 feels surreal.
This is a redraw of an older hand-lettered piece featuring New York neighbourhoods. I was planning to archive it, but after the Finals I decided to bring it back!
