1. Pecha Kucha – Illustration
Illustration is defined by it’s context and not by it’s medium, and is therefor a unique art form.
It has a rich history and is still modern and contemporary.
Illustration brings to life concepts and stories through it’s image-making.
It can be created digitally or traditionally by hand.
Illustrations can be works of art and a practical business presentation.

2. Takahiro Suganuma たかひろすがぬま
“There are many people drawing excellent landscape illustrations in Japan. I particularly like the illustrations that have emptiness and a quiet atmosphere.
My aim is to fuse the typical Japanese quiet feeling with other world illustration themes.”
