Tom Lewis~ Manga Artist





Browsing through a facebook page about visiting Japan, I found a post about a London-based Manga Artist called Tom Lewis and when searching his work I found some really beautiful pieces he created. From looking at the two on the left it gave me some inspiration for my Web Design. I could have a little character of myself with a tree coming out and things I like on the branches like in his work and the items on the branches would be my buttons so when clicking on one it will bring up a screen and would include all of the things needed of that button. I think this would be interesting because it will not be boring, there will be movement in the webpage and I could use flash to make wind come across the page and move the buttons side to side as if wind had hit them. Therefore making a very sophisticated, interesting website with the use of movement, creativity and uniqueness as well as having a part of me in the website more.

I love Tom's work because even with the use of Dark Colours, it doesn't look depressing. It has beauty which I haven't seen in many other illustrations, it brings a smile to my face with how beautifully it is done and how much it stands out with the use of colour. The lines are beautifully drawn out showing the concentration and dedication to making a wonderful, sophisticated, unique and gorgeous piece that can touch the heart with one look. Another reason I love it is because of the inspiration of Japan, his pieces bring the beauty of Japan to them with the simple use of the Kimono and the Japanese writing. I love Japan personally which brings more excitement to his piece for me and makes me love them more.
