Striving to make my clients vision come to life the way they picture it is a skill I didn’t ask for but am super thrilled to say I can do very well, with that this 3 year adventure comes to a close and we can move onto the upper portion of this illustrative Japanese inspired color half sleeve, the vision evolved over the years while working mid project and this is the result of a collaboration between artist and client to be honest we may take a few more side missions to add some additional texture and contrast when we add the top!
