Art Hound

There’s a lot of really interesting creative stuff happening in Japan that piques my interest. One of my favorite genres is the idiosyncratic, folk art-influenced work of young female illustrators like Yuko Rai of Tokyo. In their illustrations, Rai and her contemporaries minimize the noise of the outside world and instead emphasize the inner, psychological world and the aesthetics of the work itself – beautiful color and brushwork. You can look forward to more on this topic as I have plans to turn this into a small series on young, female illustrators from Japan.
