Things are calming down… lots of people are taking the next few weeks off from work.
Many are hitting the road for a holiday vacation.
I am staying in town working.. I have my first children’s book due early next year.
It is for a Japanese publisher so I’m not sure if it ever comes here to the States. With a limited amount of time I have on this, I intended to do it all digitally but it just couldn’t capture enough of the “charm” I remembered I looked for in picture books when I was a kid. I’m trying my best not to delay my process just because I’m mixing my approach… let’s see how this goes…
And that’s why I can’t go anywhere this holiday season…. sigh…
Here(the painting in the front as well as the flower one in the back) is the sneak preview of the book…..As you can see, I’m mixing collage and oil——-boy, collage is lots of fun…
This looks like a lot of fun (even though having a nearing deadline isn’t). ?????????????Amazon.co.jp??????????????
Have a good holiday!
That looks Fantastic Dice!!! oooh I can’t wait!
Amazing!!!
That’s awesome!! Looking great Dice
Wow, that looks like a book I would love to buy when it comes out! Let’s hope it makes it out of Japan!
Ho, yeah ! Collage is a lot of fun, for sure ! ^^
Man, I wish I can see that one for real, it’s so gorgeous !
Awesome, Daisuke.
I think the collage really adds something great to the piece. Great painting!
awesome, i love the style of your traditional work, and your right about the charm that its has over digital, ill just have to get a copy through amazon japan
Very interesting post. I recall the “Traditional vs Digital” that you posted a few months ago. I supposed that you tapped into your inner child by going Traditional.
For the book, hopefully, Kinokuniya will carry. If not, I will order it via Amazon Japn.

great works! the collage style is really nice, very inspiring!
Very nice! Yeah, let all of us know when this book is going to come out. Hell, give us a link off a site or something to order it at least. Lastly ship the painting to my place.
oo-! The paintings looks amazing! Can’t wait for when it’s done!
I hope you can enjoy your holidays!
Wow – that looks great! Collage is so much fun
I love your work – is the whole book illustrated in collage?
cool! i didnt know you were doing a children’s book…cant wait. looks great as always dice. oh, and i’d like to place an order in for one of those wooden covers…the duality of the technology next to the organic wood is genius. you’ll make an i-million with this =]
feliz navidad daisuke

-Bob
You are the source of inspiration buddy!
–Bobby
Thanks bobby! Looking forward to seeing your new stuff too!
–Shoo
wow, I love the title image you have on your blog!
I sure hope the book will come out of Japan somehow.. Maybe some black market mafia will let it out…:)
–Jilien
merci!!
–Francis
thank you!
-Sean
I’m glad you feel the same! Hope book printing will capture it through too.
-CK
Yeah, I just get more and more convinced about my preference to traditional as far as capturing what I want from the piece. Maybe also because I do almost exclusively digital at work..
–Matt
thanks you Matt!
–Pete
No way man
–Elisa
???????????
–Becky
It’s more of a combination of collage and oil painting. But more or less, every page will have some collage elements.
–Wille
Yeah man,
I”ll hook you up with the wood Iphone case with OOP logo on the back!
–Francis
Hope you had a good holiday season man.
and hope your student show went successful!
Looks fantastic. The colors are really beautiful as is the composition. Tight.
A bit late, good luck with that. If it can bring you some courage, I did the same, I worked everyday on christmas break, no time off. take care, it’s gonna be amazing!
This looks Fantastic!
I really respect your (and your peer’s) work,
and I love to see work within process…
Thanks for this!

I love the design, the mix of abstract and other elements. Fantastic. I hope they release it here in the states, too.
Mmmmm. can we see this book when it’s finished? Looks like some fine traditional painting!
