Illustration Series #5: Nobumasa Takahashi

Hello world! Happy new year!

Happy new year, Pingers!! Suffering from a massive hangover today…? 2007’s memorial first article and the 5th of our illustration series is about Mr. Nobumasa Takahashi from Japan! His very first appearance on PingMag was in February 2006. Since then, he has become one of our favorite artists and he sends us some of his new work every once in a while. Here are the special New Year greetings for Pingers from Nobumasa.

Written by Chiemi

Nobumasa, please describe what you do to make a living in your own words.

I am a person who draws and wants to live a slow life. And also, I am a matiere maniac, I simply love this phenomena which occurs when some colors get mixed and use it for my paintings. You know, this beauty when you pour cream into coffee… similar to that. I study matiere and have a show with my own concepts and theories about it once a year.

How was 2006 for you?

“2006 was a great year for me because I had a great success with my Japanese Graffiti exhibition and also my baby daughter ‘On’ was born.”

What is your plan for the new year?

“I want to do more stuff abroad! (I already have some secret plan…) Please pay attention to me this year!”

Any message for PingMag readers?

Get lots of inspirations!

Thank you so much, Nobumasa. Please keep sending us your latest works in 2007, too!
