About Tabineko Illustration 그림 달력

이 일련의 삽화는 일본의 일러스트 레이터 인 모리 토시 노리가 달력으로 그린 것입니다. 여행하는 고양이는 일본의 사계절을 배경으로 부드러운 색감과 단순한 터치로 그려집니다. 삽화는 Adobe Illustrator에서 그려집니다. 디지털 일러스트레이션이지만 윤곽에 미세한 요철을 추가하고 표면에 종이 조각과 같은 질감을 추가하여 자연스러운 느낌을 주도록 설계되었습니다.

Unique Properties: Tabineko illustration calendar allows cats to travel in an ordinary and ubiquitous landscape. Viewers are more likely to empathize as if their cat is traveling freely in the neighborhood. In addition, flowers, mountain scenery, roadside plants, weather, etc. are drawn according to the season, so viewers can feel the wind of each season in the house
Dimensions & Packaging: Wall Calendar :18cm x 25cm (B5) Art Poster:A4.A3.A2

Production Technology: Calendars are handmade.
The designer cuts the output from the printer by month and attaches it to the backing paper with a stopper. The prints, adjusted and output many times until the designer is satisfied, entertain the viewer with vivid colors.
The material of the calendar (including the stopper) is made of paper and can be discarded as burning garbage.In addition to being usable as a wall calendar, it can also be used as a desk calendar by standing on the attached stand.
Design Challenge: Because it is digital, what you print is what you actually see.
So I try to adjust the saturation and color many times to get the desired color. I sometimes print dozens of sheets until I get the color I like.
The problem was that the ink on my printer (a very old printer) was out of print, and I couldn't get the same color.
New printers have low saturation and do not produce beautiful colors.
Research: Digital illustration using Adobe Illustrator.
I take a picture of my favorite scenery on a bicycle walk and draw it based on it.
Cats model their own cats as models.
Because it is for calendars, colors and plants are selected to give the seasonal feeling of each month.
In addition, I am thinking about the combination of colors that can reproduce the images of the beautiful four seasons I felt.
In order to eliminate digital slipperiness, paper shading is added.
Inspiration: I like riding a bicycle through the four seasons. When I decided to make a calendar, I decided to make an illustration of the landscape I saw on a bicycle. However, I thought that the landscape alone was a bit lonely, so I added the cat I had at that time to the landscape.
The result is the "Tabneko" illustration series.
Project Duration: The illustration series was first exhibited at a group exhibition held in Tokyo, Japan in 2011, and has been produced continuously at my home in Nagaoka, Japan until March 2020.
Operation Flow: Postcards, calendars, art posters, etc. are sold at marketplaces such as Etsy, and are sold at private exhibition venues in Tokyo and Nagaoka using Tabineko illustrations.
Team Members: Me alone
