The Kindling book contains 12 high-quality, removable prints in addition to process sketches and drawings from James Jean’s exhibition of the same title.

Illustrator/character designer: Edward Kwong

Ninja June 2nd, 2009

Vancouver-based illustrator/character designer, Edward Kwong, knocks my socks off! His sketch books are spectacular, and I’m really enjoying the diversity of his illustration styles that reference Art Deco, Noir, 50s print ad, and old comic books sources. Edward studied illustration at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary.
