train people => Tokyo Mortals

I found a book titled "London Immortals" in a to-be-thrown-away pile.
An old book that was about London Immortals - famous Londeners who lived, and/or died there.

So I decided to make that my sketch book and change it to "Tokyo Mortals"


Since the setting is Tokyo, and people I draw are normal people on the train-thus, "mortal."

Hello. I love the book-sketchbook idea; one of my instructors back in the days o' school used to paint on old covers for the textural quality it added to his work. Very cool concept, title, and the sketch is nice. The text (both typed and handwritten) add an interesting layer to the work.

Thank you! I actually got this idea from a roommate of mine during collage. :) I'm glad you like the concept/title! I've actually been sketching in this book for a while, but it was only me so I didn't know if I was the only one that thought it was pretty cool or not! The text was done for me to kind of, take notes of the mortals.

Thank you thank you! As said above, I didn't know if I think I was the only one that thought it was cool XD
