Living as an Artist in Japan: Tips from Illustrator Adrian Hogan 🎨

I sit down with illustrator Adrian Hogan, who has spent years in Japan drawing for iconic Japanese magazines Popeye and Brutus. We talk about the Japanese aesthetic, what it takes to live as a creative in Japan, and how observation turns into lines on the page. This is a conversation about taste, process, and making work that actually works. Topics include sketching street life, client work with iconic Japanese fashion magazines, inspiration, and the realities of building a creative career abroad. If you care about drawing, design, or how culture shapes the eye, this one is for you. #AdrianHogan #Popeye #Brutus #JapaneseAesthetic #Tokyo #Illustration #Design #Fashion #Sketching #Japan
