Yuko Shimizu
Publisher: Gestalten
We stumble across many burnt outs on our travels through the inner city
and thought this one would make an ace back drop for this Yuko shoot.
A dazzling array of illustrations to feast one's eyes upon in this
title. Mostly the characters are of Asian persuasion and there is a lot
of influence from that continent on display, it's no wonder then that
Yuko was born in Tokyo. She decided to go to New York and do an arts
degree and never looked back.
With slightly risqué material, her art shone through and bagged her jobs with the Village Voice and the New York Times.
Shimizu's media includes calligraphy brushes, india ink and water
colour paper, her mostly female characters are tweaked on Photoshop
before being disrobed for the world to see.
Not loads of writing but an eye ball marathon, this book is packed to
the gunnels with fine quality illustration and use of vibrant colours.
Time to go behind the cover...
