Tetsuya KITADA
Design B.A., Tama Art University, Tokyo

"Drawing Illustrations is so much fun, like jamming on a guitar or rumbling and roaring on a motorcycle!," Mr. Kitada excitedly says. For him, there is no difference selling his art works for millions or T-shirts for ten dollars. "What I have to do is to create powerful and charming Illustrations with great qualities. That's it." His audience-friendly avant-garde style Illustrations have appeared in numerous magazines and on television and are widely appreciated in Japan. Mr. Kitada has immersed himself in Art, and has absorbed aspects from Renaissance to Contemporary Art while exploring his own vision. "What you see is what you get, so I want my audiences to be free to feel what they see in my work." Next year he will publish a book that is a mixture of picture books and Manga. "Everyday I want to create better than the day before."
