This are several images from my past project. For a long time I was fascinated by the Japanese culture, and this project gave me a chance to research it in reasonable depth. The way i came to it was a bit strange though, at least it was hard for my fellow students to understand that. Beginning of my sketchbook was full of drawings of naked women, middle full of fat naked women and the end had loads of fat men: the Sumo wrestlers.
I loved this subject as it was so easy to draw; there are loads of rounded shapes. I experimented in different mediums among which was printmaking, painting and ink drawing. On later stages images were enhanced in Photoshop as part of my project was to do with designing a product, packaging as well as logos and posters. As they would have had to be reproduced multiple times, this was the easier way.

I really like the Sumo poster,is it a poster actually? Great colours, and it has that raw feeling which works. Is this a print?
I did use them as posters but as project progressed, I adopted it as packaging for a set of collectable cards. This is not a print; originally it was an A1 size painting, just acrylics on paper. I scanned it in and enhanced it in Photoshop. As a print it probably would be very complex to make, as there is a lot of tonal variations which are essential to the mood of the work.
