What is it about?
Have you heard about Satoshi Kitamura and Me and My Cat?
Born in Tokyo in 1956, from a young age Satoshi Kitamura enjoyed reading comics and illustrated novels.
Without any formal training, at 19 he started his career working in advertising as an artist, eventually making his way to London.
His work also demonstrates an appreciation of music, which he has depicted in his art using bright lines and patterns. In a recent interview with The Big Picture he said, "I’m very influenced by music, and I like musical instruments...My approach to illustrating music is spontaneous. Music and painting come from the same source. They are just different aspects of the same thing...
I often listen to music while I work. I'm too lazy to put CDs in my player and just leave the radio on! I love all sorts of music: jazz, classical, contemporary music, pop, rock, Irish, Japanese and all sorts of folk music of the world... but most of the time I listen to BBC's Radio 3, that plays European classical music.
Sometimes I ask myself whether it is better to be an artist or a musician. If I could play a trumpet or clarinet perfectly, I'd rather be a musician than an artist. Sadly, I have no talent in music (I'm perfectly tone-deaf). So it may be in compensation for that that I have worked on quite a few picture books with musical themes!"
