I recently had decided to try and enter an international Japanese illustration contest based on the Theme of traveling to Kyoto City. I wanted to not only capture the well-known landmarks but some of the lesser-known places within the city that I have a fascination with visiting I always like to look into those tiny details that make a place unique. So I did do my research when it came to this illustration. illustrator

A client initially wanted a cartoon-style illustration to interpret their questions based on their role of coaching people. After discussing with them I created this colorful world map called Goal land. It is supposed to show a journey from the bottom to the top of someone's metaphorical adventure to complete tasks while being fun and imaginative it is ultimately designed to help the coach in engaging with others to help them in achieving their personal goals. illustrator art
