Research for Week of 10/22/2018:

Often times when I come to a creative block, I like to look at Pinterest for inspiration. Because much of the work is smaller artists and people's everyday drawings or work, it often reminds me of common themes and ideas that are prominent in modern society, and it also provides a lot of content and ideas that are more abstract and impressionistic- a type of art that developed after Ukiyo-e, but actually took a lot of inspiration from the classic Japanese work. This is a closer example to the drawings and work that I create than the previous week's research that was a more classic Ukiyo-e design. Here are some examples of the work I found:

Research for 10/15/2018: Keiji Shinohara

Although his style is a more classic view of the art Ukiyo-e prints than what I am working on, his work provides interesting gradients and subject matter to provide inspiration for my own work.  Here is a link to an archive of the prints.
