Urbanowicz moved to Tokyo more than three years ago and became fascinated by the old buildings and stores he passed on walks around the city. An illustrator and comic book artist by trade, Urbanowicz works at the animation studio CoMix Wave, creating backgrounds for animations. But on his own time, he watercolors detailed renderings of his favorite buildings. The illustrations coalesced into his ?Tokyo Storefront? series.
