Little throwback to my life as a kenshi
I did Kendo for 13 years of my life, in 2015 Sensei Terry Holt from Mumeishi kendo club in London asked me to make a few illustrations for his latest Kendo Beginners guide and for the Mumeishi 3′s international tournament.
Holt Sensei was one of my best kendo friends in the UK, if not the best, so I was happy to make the cover illustrations for his book and event. He used my artwork for making the tournament poster and I also transferred the art for a one color screen print that produced t-shirts, tenuguis and hoodies. ( I never got to see the tenuguis nor hoodies, if you have a photo please share it with me! )
Shortly after the event he passed away suddenly, so this project is very close to my heart.
RIP Holt Sensei
