Gez Fry
Warning: Gez Fry is painfully good. For me, looking at his Japanese-influenced commercial illustration was two parts intimidation and one part inspiration.
He says in a PingMag interview,
My original plan was to be a diplomat … but I realized that I then could only be living in Japan for four years. I really wanted to be in Japan with my future wife and thought that freelancing in art would allow me to live wherever I want.
