Every piece we finish gets our mark. Sealed. Done. Yours.

Japanese & Black-and-Grey

Samurai women riding crashing waves. Coiling dragons. A foo-dog guardian with peony and wave. Warrior and serpent in a field of chrysanthemum. The studio's core language — high-detail Japanese imagery rendered in black-and-grey with fine whip-shading, and sealed with the same vermilion chop that closes every real piece on these walls.

Beyond the Black-and-Grey

One studio, many conversations with skin. Fine-line botanicals — sunflower, rose, butterfly — that breathe with the body. A photoreal hourglass on a forearm. A Ghibli fire spirit rendered in delicate linework. A full-colour Calvin & Hobbes in front of a shoji screen. Mountain, cross and river running the length of a calf. The range is honest — all of it from one door on Easey Street.

Craft in Progress

Ground level and level 2 of 48 Easey Street, Collingwood. Polished floors, black-framed shoji screens, a boom lamp steady over skin, and a full wall of ink bottles receding dim into the studio behind every session. A room that opens at 10:30AM and finishes when the work is done.
