built from scratch by kiboko HachiYon

Working on a new series of paintings for this summer. Usually show the final work, but will try show more sneak peaks of the bones/framework of paintings before the skin comes on in the form of acrylics and anything else I can put on it. These are sections of one of four pieces I am working on at the moment.

Something I am working on at the moment. The images are a bit raw, but so is the work and I feel it provides an interesting sneak peak of what is to come. The whole mural is freestyle with no preparatory sketches

Something I was asked to do a while back, but just managed to get around finishing it. Fun project plus client was happy with end result. Will print it in A1 0r A2 size as it works better in large scale.

Pecko Pecko Sign by kiboko HachiYon

Recently did this sign for Peko Peko Japanese Kitchen, who sell amazing Japanese food in various markets in London. Has been a while since I painted any form of signage and enjoyed the process. I also added my touch to the original logo by tweaking the colour’s to make the sign more vibrant. See more on Peko Peko and where to find them via the links below, and have some food as well when you find them.
