Artist Of The Day: Nicolas Castell An Illustrator Based In Granada.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Personal project about the journey of a foreign artist to the ancient Japan. The traveler finds a magic pen that enables him to create anything he wants. The influence of Japan in my work is evident, I wanted to create a story placed in this marvelous country, as an homage to the aesthetics of the ukiyo-e.
