shunshun

shunshun is a Hiroshima-based drawing artist. With a single pen, he captures scenes that touched his heart — sunlight glinting on a peaceful sea, beautiful rain falling on the land, soft starlight in the night sky — in works that are humble yet painstakingly created. He holds solo exhibitions around Japan while working on print ad and book cover design work.

About his artwork for Midori MD, shunshun shares: "When I'm thinking about, say, what kind of drawings I want to create for a personal exhibition, I grab my notebook and start sketching out my ideas. I add words to drawings of nature — the sea, rain, wind, mountains — and abstract images. I feel like my mind flits back and forth between imagination and creation, opening up new doors. Sketching things by hand in a notebook is a good way to focus and have fun at the same time. So since the MD Notebook is totally blank, it's a space that clears your mind so that the ideas will flow."
