Shin Yoshikawa draws a line with 0.1mm ceramic
pen and black ink for his cutaway artwork.
He makes several layers description of car structure on illustration board.
His eyes pick on the best angle of a car, and his brain sifts out unnecessary parts for his cutaway's describing. Each black line fills the role of car's structure. Finished drawing is not an anatomy diagram, but it is a sophisticated automotive art.
We tried to combine Shin's cutaway artwork and UKIYOE for giving a third dimension.
UKIYOE, one of arts of the 18th century in Japan, is very popular art as masterpiece of Japan's classic culture. They were described with sentient coloring.
Made repeated trial and error for giving color under retaining an original line. Finally, we succeeded in combinig cutaway artwork and UKIYOE- touch coloring with up-to-date technology. There is no doubt that the artworks have an impact on your five senses.

Did you find me in
WWW.JAYLENOGARAGE.COM ?
Let me reveal the course of the filming in
JAY LENO GARAGE.
I met Jay Leno at the book store when I visited there for see my friend, Peter Brock.
Jey Leno is my hero, of course your hero too.
I boldly introduced myself and shook hand with him. A few weeks later, Jay called me and asked about my artworks. He said " I'll introduce you and your artworks in my web". I was excited.
However, I have a big problem and a complex, as you know. I asked Jay " Is Shinglish OK ?".
He said " No problem".
Several Months later, a week before filmimg day,
I went to Jay Leno Garage for the meeting of filming. It was not meeting but eating Pizza.
The D-day, I arrived three hours early and I was roaming in the Garage. I was so nervous.
The filming went off well, but I don't remember it.
I admire his great career in Talk Show.
And, I really appreciate your cheering.
