When I started making these little original art works taking inspiration from my love of Japan, collage and pen and ink I stacked them up to show someone and they said “Japanese Jenga like the game, and it stuck. So from then on that’s what I’ve called them.
Sometimes I use a rotring pen for crisp black lines. I also like Sakura pigma micron pens (yes of course Japanese) or locally produced Derwent products like graphik line makers.
Another favourite are the Signo uni ball 153 white and metallic pens which again I can get locally at the wonderful Heaton Cooper Studio in Grasmere. https://www.heatoncooper.co.uk/
Watercolours I enjoy using are Kuratake gansai in metallics etc. Again Derwent produce metallics and also a new favourite tinted charcoal watercolours.
Sometimes I use white paper but I do have a tendency to love black papers.
I like the thought someone can buy a piece of art which is original not a print or copy at an inexpensive price.
