Life on two wheels

Life on two wheels is filled with simple pleasures. Each day brings chance encounters and discoveries, along with moments of inspiration, excitement and reflection. This illustrated series celebrates cycling as a way of life and the little things that make it so special.


Tokyo-based illustrator Taku Bannai captures everyday scenes with a lyrical touch. His unique, minimalist style features ample blank space, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to imagine their own stories. For Aspect, Bannai created a series of images using kiri-e, the art of papercutting.
