The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Tokyo presents a Discussion and Demonstration by Illustrator Gregory Myers.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Gregory Myers studied at the Canberra School of Art in the Graphic Investigation Workshop under Czech printmaker Petr Herel. After working as a designer and illustrator producing educational materials, Myers came to Japan on a Monbusho Research Scholarship and studied under Akira Kurosaki in the Printmaking Department at Kyoto Seika University. Since then he has been working freelance as an editorial illustrator, working mainly with scraperboard and pen and ink. His work can be seen monthly in the JAL in-flight magazine (international flights). In 1987 he was awarded an Encouragement Prize in the 5th Noma Concours for Children’s Picture Book Illustrations (UNESCO) and his work was shown in Tokyo and Bratislava. Myers will discuss various influences on his work and demonstrate scraperboard technique.
