Masterclass Atsushi Wada ”Something You Cannot See”
The way I make my works hasn’t changed much since more than 10 years ago. Many artists change the method and the way of making each work, so you can say I am trapped in what is called mannerization. But I’m still not bored at all. I still want my characters to rub their noses against grandpa, and want them to go around half-naked. I want to draw such a movement. Why on earth does not makes so bored? I would like to talk about that.
