The LDraw.org Steering Committee is pleased to announce that the 2022 James Jessiman Memorial Award (JJMA) recipient is Takeshi Takahashi.
Takeshi got started creating LDraw models in 2016 and joined into the community as part author in 2020. Since then, he has become a prolific part author, skillfully creating many high-quality patterned parts and stickers which creates these using LDPatternCreator and his 2-D vector graphics background with Adobe Illustrator. He has also become a regular part reviewer, helping the Parts Library become larger and better. In addition to work on the library, he regularly posts models for inclusion in the Official Model Repository.

His is current plans include studying 3-D modelling to broaden the range of his parts authoring.
