Baguus - Edo Period meets Salaryman

Baguus Mural - puppy panel detail; R Williamson; 8/21

Finishing up work on a long digital mural for a new Asian fast casual restaurant in Seattle, Washington. The details shown here are from the right side of the piece. Many of the figures are my versions of characters drawn by Hokusai and Hiroshige, found in their sketch books or in the ukiyo-e wood block prints for which they are both famous. The desire here was to make up a new scrambled street scene that is a mash-up between the historic prints and a graphic novel style linework. Including various Edo period characteristics leaning especially on some of Hiroshige’s work and have a few modern salarymen thrown into the mix. The time is twilight and the glow from with this establishments spills across the street.
