This is the art that will serve as the basis for the cover of the book of my own, titled ‘SHOW NO MERCY!’
It’s a ‘ pulp fiction ‘, police thriller with lots of action.
Next week, my website will be ready, and among the many new developments that will publish, the posters are the highlights, in addition to t-shirts and new gear.
Plan to put only new things, since the blog in Portuguese will keep work files that realized, and in this blog in English, jobs that I’ll develop as the roughs and studies in stages commented to the artwork, which will be posted on the site.
In this space I will publish random photos also, since daily situations that inspire some work and art images, purposeful or casual.
I believe that the site is a sort of showcase, and blogs in both languages are shelves, each with their own items, differentiating itself and at the same time complementing.
I hope you have a little time to check the site and join the fun!
This is an illustration for MIXMAG Brasil magazine (portuguese edition).
It’s very fun to draw the characters one by one, separated, and after reunite them in a scenario, bringing life to this crowd.
Paper and pencil, ink, scanner and these softwares: Illustrator CS5 and Photoshop CS5.
I live and work in São Paulo/SP, currently have an office where I do my services of illustration and graphic design. There are more than 30 years that I do what I like, when I learned since childhood with my father Masaya Sakamoto the craft by which he dedicated himself for many years. I’m drawing and write my own books, which are not yet available, but I intend to release them soon.
This is my portfolio. Feel free to comment, and in case you want some more information, send me an e-mail: kenji.sakamoto@gmail.com. Thanks for your visiting!
