I had a really hard time choosing an image for this post. It was hard to narrow it down, because Dice Tsutsumi's work is just so good!

Dice Tsutsumi write up on Lines and Colors.

His website, where you can scroll through his oil paintings, illustrations and sketchbooks.

The Sketch Travel project.

A book you are going to want badly- Out of Picture. We are fortunate enough to have a copy, and it is brilliant! (Dice's story being one of my favourites)
