Megumi Asakura
Ms Asakura's sophisticated, flowing lines are adorned by vibrant colors created from a collage of origami and various colored papers. These lines are made by continuously sketching until she comes up with new creation, unlike anything she has seen before. She excels at delineating human figures and her characters are eloquent subjects of human nature. "I want to capture every moment of everything that I see with my own eyes, like the lens of a camera. I enjoy illustrating subjects such as fairy tales and classical literature, but as long as I create, my outlook should be that of a contemporary artist." Ms Asakura's art has graced the covers of numerous major magazines and books, especially Japanese versions of international bestsellers such as Bridget Jones' Diary (Helen Fielding, published by Sony Magazines).
