2020 Advent Calendar [7] – TheJedHenry

December 7, 2020

I like TheJedHenry so much that I even put his illustrations in some of my lessons. Linktree is here and you have different options to buy his work, but the main on-line store is here. You have woodblock prints, prints on Japanese papers, enamel pins and t-shirts. His main gig is reinterpreting pop culture in japanese traditional style and I absolute love him. You have some Wtcher themed stuff, a lot or Marvel-themed and Star Wars-themed illustrations, some Lord of the Rings ones too.

For these festive seasons, I’d like to recommend some pins: the dragon eating wizard is one I’m particularly fond of, but the Oni and Dragon and the Frog Koi Rider are absolutely adorable.

I warned you I would try and do this: I’m not making any promises, let’s see if I can keep this up.
