MICHELLE MITSUI WEB LOG



Welcome to my website. I am Daniel Mitsui, a freelance artist. Meticulously detailed ink drawings on paper or vellum are my specialty. All of my drawing is done by hand. I am especially inspired by medieval religious art, illuminated manuscripts and early printed books. I live in Chicago with my wife and our two sons.




RELIGIOUS ART In my religious work, I attempt to be faithful to the instructions of the Second Nicene Council, which stated that the composition of religious imagery is not left to the initiative of artists, but is formed upon principles laid down by the Catholic Church and by religious tradition.
