ABOUT 

Motohiro Hayakawa
Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, Hayakawa studied at the region’s Technical Institute before going on to work in illustration and comics. Major influences include the science fiction adventures and cartoons of his childhood, in particular Space Sheriff, a cult Japanese TV show aired in the early 80s. The US cartoonist and illustrator, Gary Panter, is also cited by Hayakawa, together with a range of musical inspirations, from pop to punk.

Using a mixture of different textures and techniques, fine lines, jelly-like forms and fluorescent color, Hayakawa creates imagined scenes charged with energy and narrative flair. Lurid monsters, clanking robots and 70s-inspired sci-fi heroes sporting kitsch outfits and laser guns. Motohiro Hayakawa’s comic-style battle scenes are places where the action never stops, thrilling invitations to step inside and join the fun.
