This week I went to the Boroichi fleamarket in Tokyo. It has been held twice a year in the same place for over 430 years, and is an intangible folk cultural asset of Japan. 
I wandered, browsed and sketched, 
and bought a beautiful little sobachoko. When I got home, I did some watercolour sketches of it...
I enjoyed it so much, I did a few more, looking at old sobachoko online for reference.
And then made a little design of my own...

I've just arrived in HK and am loving being back in the warm weather. I spent a day wandering in Causeway Bay and Wanchai, soaking in all the sights and sounds, especially in the wonderfully noisy markets...
Here's how it looked on the day!
Fish Market cookbook
in books, drawings, food, special commissions
I've done some illustrations for Running Press in the States, for a book about how to choose, buy and prepare seafood. The cover looks like a market blackboard with chalky lettering and illustrations of today's catch.
The drawings for the inside pages are pen and ink line. They were used reversed out for the inside cover.
Inside I did drawings of each individual fish.
There are also instructional illustrations, showing you how to do various prep things...
If you're into seafood, I think this would be a great book to have! It's available from amazon.
