About the Author
Kensuke Okabayashi
is a professional freelance illustrator/sequential artist.
Born and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, Kensuke has been inspired by
manga artists such as Fujiko Fukio, Osamu Tezuka, and Rumiko Takahashi
since childhood. While shopping his manga portfolio in Japan, he visited
various animation and comic book studios to hone his skills. There Kensuke
met with Matsumoto Leiji and Akazuka Fujio and interned with other manga
artists.
After studying music and psychology at Wheaton College in Illinois, Kensuke
shifted his focus from playing the piano to honing his art skills. He earned his
BFA in Illustration at the School of Visual Arts in New York City after studying
traditional painting and further developing his drawing skills. Upon graduat-
ing, he began picking up illustration and storyboard clients. His works even-
tually caught the eyes of several illustration agencies that currently represent
him. His recent storyboard clients include Diesel Clothing, Diet Coke, Diet
Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Absolut Vodka, Wendy’s, Allstate, State Farm, Canon Digital,
All Nippon Airways, and Camel.
In addition to storyboards, Kensuke also actively illustrates for mainstream
entertainment industry clients, including Wizards of the Coast, Takara Toys
U.S.A., Kensington Books, Skyzone Entertainment, and Carl Fisher Music.
Inspired by his past experience of working long hours at a well-known coffee
shop corporation, Kensuke developed and illustrated his creator-owned
comic book series titled
JAVA!,
which portrays the quirky futuristic society of
Neo Seattle, where mankind must consume coffee in order to live. The title
attracted attention and was picked up by Committed Comics and published
as a miniseries. His main character, Java (a high-power caffeine girl fighting
crime), received positive reviews from major comic book review sites as well
as from readers and distribution. Kensuke continues to work on creator-
owned projects with other established colleagues and writers in the industry.
His upcoming publication projects include Image Comics, Arcana
Publications, and Archaia Press. His online portfolio is posted at his studio
Web site at www.piggybackstudios.com.
On the side, Kensuke continues to draw from life and teaches art. He taught
illustration courses at Mercer College of New Jersey for several years. He cur-
rently teaches studio art classes at the Education Alliance Art School in New
York City. When not drawing or painting in his studio, Kensuke still enjoys
playing the piano from time to time and honing his martial arts skills regu-
larly at a local Tae Kwon Do club.
