About Me

Illustrator / Japan

I’m a resident of Tokyo. I have been active as an illustrator since 2010. I mainly draw girls with a somewhat gloomy spice using Illustrator. I aim for aesthetics that are simple and stylish. I mainly work on flyer designs and character designs for game apps. I formed the illustrator unit pRizmagiC in 2011. I held my first exhibit titled “Touto Futatsu” in July 2012.
Work Environment: Mac OSX, Illustrator, Photoshop

    Q&A

    How did you get into drawing?

    It started by surfing the net and finding out about illustration exhibition events. I have liked drawing since I was a kid, but I had no relationship to any illustrator community so I was surprised to find out about exhibits that anyone could freely enter.

    What are you particular about in your work?

    Simple Bezier curves and color palettes that clearly shows a depth of colors. It may be contradictory, but my motto is simple over flashy.

    How long does your work take to create?

    The shortest time is around 3 days. But there are also times when it takes about 3 weeks if I draw a little bit each day.

    When do you come up with ideas for your work?

    When I’m commuting in the morning. I’m always hurriedly writing memos on my iPhone.
