Shohei Otomo’s intense illustration art

Shohei’s illustrations, sketched with ballpoint pen, are characterized by sparse use of color, bold lines, high contrast and gritty subjects. “Intense”, as one website (NSFW) put it.

Loud and dynamic, Shohei’s artworks are illustrative of Japan’s manga-influenced style of drawing.

Many of his illustrations (four of which are shown below) are displayed at Hakuchi Land; many are NSFW. He lives in Tokyo and blogs at Hakuchitare (where one can find videos of him working on his illustrations).
