Shohei Otomo’s traditionally modern illustrations

In today’s global village, designers and artists are no longer limited by their immediate environment and culture for creative inspirations. By taking insights and ideas from across the globe, designers open themselves up to a wider audience through the blending of Eastern and Western styles.

Japanese artist Shohei Otomo does this in his eye-popping illustrations. Not only are the details and shading amazing but the intertwining of traditional Japanese comic book drawings with modern cultural twists are truly unique.

Check out his portfolio - below is merely a tip of the iceberg.
