Nishimata represents Japan in Star Wars artbook

wait... what?Nishimata Aoi has announced on her blog that she has been picked to represent Japan in an upcoming Star Wars art book which will contain art from over 100 illustrators. She is one of only two artists that are representing Japan in the art book, which is expected to be released late 2009 or early 2010.

The other artist representing Japan is unnamed, but Nishimata comments the other person is somebody who has been around much longer than her and is completely out of reach for somebody like her. She also says she is in charge of the moe illustration, so I’m assuming the other artist will be from a different genre.

Also the book will apparently have a page to introduce the background on each artist that is featured, so it’ll be a pretty big book.

…why Nishimata of all people!
