Hedwig's World

A distinctive, sharp-lined style is used to depict Hedwig, the snowy owl that appears in the Harry Potter series, with her wings spread wide across the night sky. In the background are scattered motifs symbolizing the world of Harry Potter, such as the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and a witch on a broomstick. The overall effect is like wandering into the world of the Harry Potter stories.

Born in the United States in 1955, Schlesinger currently lives in the United Kingdom. After graduating from Yale University, he studied law at the universities of Oxford and Harvard. Some time later, a work of art he produced at the request of a designer friend met with an extremely positive public response, prompting him to retire from the law to become an artist. In 1999 he gained popularity in Japan when he created the illustrations for the cover and frontispiece of the Japanese-language edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

The "Homage to Ukiyoe" project, first exhibited as part of the Tokyo Design Week in Milano Salone 2015, enabled six of the world's most renowned comtemporary artists and designers to become ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodcut print) artists. Collaborating with the carvers and printers of the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints, and guided by the "Homage to Ukiyoe" theme, these currently active creators produced contemporary ukiyo-e expressing their own individual interpretations of the woodcut prints of Japan's Edo period (1603–1867) that influenced Van Gogh and Monet. The participating creators included Dan Schlesinger, who is famous for creating the cover art for the Japanese edition of the Harry Potter series, and James Jean, who has designed artwork for Prada.
