HARUKI MURAKAMI
by Karen Murray
Haruki Murakami is my favourite author. His usually surreal tales really captivate my imagination. A few years ago when I first started to do a little illustration (along side my day job as a web designer), I thought creating an illustration for each of his novels would be great practice. They proved a hit, with many people asking if I was selling them as prints. When I finally moved into illustration full-time, I decided to do just that, but as I'd improved greatly as an illustrator, I felt that before that could happen, a redo was in order.
