I’m going to admit right now, just to be completely honest…. that I’ve seen quite a bit of pen and ink drawings that are dilapidated, wiggly, and still full of detail. One of the best perks of being a creative, is recording in some way, what’s happening around you, and putting your own twist on it. And let me tell you… there are tons of people who have visual diaries, recording intentionally semi-bad drawings of whatever they see, buy, eat, pet, etc.
Having said all of that, and yes, I am in that afore-mentioned crowd… Seiko Kato, from England’s southern-most tip – called Brighton, is one of the most talented “line-drawers” I’ve seen. (That’s definitely not a technical term.) Her work is full of intentionally placed objects and things, craftfully rendered, and completely eye-catching as well as easy to stare at for a great many moments. Her work reminds me of wonderful artists from the 1960s, like R. Crumb’s sketchbooks, or perhaps even some Peter Max. She also states she is very interested in Victorian Era art, and I noticed a bit of steampunk in her when seeing her 3D montage exhibit in Brighton, UK back in 2008. This post is a bit overwhelmingly scatter-brained, but what I really want to say is: check out this artist, she’s young, multi-talented (as you can see on herwebsite) and her attention to clean detail is tops!
