The March 2019 issue of Japanese magazine Illustration is a special feature on the work of Eguchi Hisashi. I’ve reviewed 3 of his art books so far ( Step / King Of Pop / Works ) and as you can surmise a big fan of his work.

Eguchi Hisashi’s distinctive art style is always easy to spot; with art work/characters rendered in flat, simple colors but always with expressive facial expressions, especially the eyes. This magazine special showcases illustration highlights from his 40 year old portfolio as well as an extended interview.

(above & below) The magazine comes with bonus calendar set. Even if you don’t use calendars they are like a beautiful set of post cards.

Illustration magazine is a fantastic way to catch up with the best artists working in Japan right now. Check out some earlier issues here, here and here.
