Kazu Sano

Sorry to hear of the passing of illustration great Kazuhiko Sano (1952-2011). His work is awe inspiring. My condolences to the Sano Family, friends and many the students he mentored. You will be missed.

Kazu's website can be viewed here.

Click the pic to download my reaction paper to the Kazu Sano lecture of March 19th, 2009 at the Academy of Art, San Francisco, CA. The paper's theme is mentors and teachers. Sano's story was uncannily similar to my mentor Hiroshi Murata's early upbringing.
