Hirohiko Araki is a manga artist who has become one of the
most recognizable and influencial artists in his medium. Born in June 7, 1960 in Sendai , Miyagi. He started
working in a few tittles before starting his magnum opus in 1987 “Jojo Bizarre
Adventure” a long running manga series that continues even to this day, which has
become an iconic series and has affected greatly in Japan's pop culture as well as his
career. A title that follows the adventures of members of the Joestar family
who deal with supernatural threats during the course of many generations. Something
notable about his art style is how impressively it has evolved. Originally his art
style was pretty basic for manga standards for his time but as the years went
on his worked evolved from a manlier style where everyone had overgrown muscles
and made odd poses to a very refine and detailed form which has gained him
great notoriety in the world of art. He has had his work exhibited in the Musee
du Louvre in france
when he was chosen along four other artists to create an original work set in
the museum. For his 30 anniversary as an artist he collaborated with Gucci
the Italian clothing brand to celebrate its 90 year anniversary and had his
work publish on the fashion magazine Spur.
