Satoshi Kitamura is a Japanese children's author and illustrator. I have been interested in his work since I was a child and had books with his illustrations in. Different to many other children's illustrators, his style is very detailed and his use of composition very clever.
Illustration from "In the Attic"
This colourful, conceptual illustration shows a child opening windows on to the world of his imagination.
Illustration from "What's inside? The Alphabet Book"
Teaching children the alphabet, Kitamura uses composition to create an inventive way for children to learn.
I think I can relate my work to Kitamura's style, as he uses detailed, colourful and clever art work to demonstrate quite simple ideas.
