Gaku Nakagawa

Spied many times within the pages of one of my fave magazines; Monocle, Gaku Nakagawa has me a little obsessed with line weight right now.


He makes it look so good – like he uses his vector pen tool as if it were a brush. Mesmerizing.
Gaku can be found at (what looks like a pretty good agency): Dutch Uncle
Born in the temple “Zuisenji”, Kyoto in 1966. He studied Buddhist art at a university and worked as a copywriter after graduation. From 1996 he started to work as illustrator and priest. He works with pamphlet of government and municipal offices and a temple, books, a magazine, etc.
