Gez Fry

Akaihane — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:58:54 +0000

UK-born but now based in Japan, Japanese-British artist Gez Fry applies both hand-drawn and computer-generated techniques to his anime-inspired style. The influence of several big manga artists, such as Masamune Shirow (of ‘Ghost in the Shell’ fame) can be seen in his work, as well as those from traditional Japanese art periods such as Ukiyo-e. His great talents have not only helped him gain a following, but has landed him work with the likes of BBC, Namco, Industrial Light and Magic and Future Publishing.

Rin Nadeshico ( born in 1984 in Chiba) has turned 19th century depictions of the Yamato Nadeshiko on their head by inserting modern, young independent women in their place amongst historical backdrops of Mount Fuji and other similar cultural emblems.

Unfortunately Rin Nadesico’s website seems to be offline at the moment, hopefully temporarily.
