Ukiyo-e Heroes

Jed Henry is an illustrator and lifelong gamer. Dave Bull is a craftsman in traditional Japanese-style woodblock printing. The two began working together in 2012 to create the Ukiyo-e Heroes project. With the help of Bull's printing skills, Henry depicts his favorite heroes, villains, and monsters spanning every genre from satire, to romance, to horror. Modern costuming has been traded for the medieval, but the essence of each character remains. The two are making fun, meaningful art that is also working to save the Japanese woodblock community in a very real way.
