YOKOYAMA Yuichi

Outline

“Cute things are funny,” The artist says this is the piece he wants to draw the most right now. A little surreal but ordinary life of a mysterious combination of a bird and a chick. YOKOYAMA Yuichi, a global-scale artist, changes his previous style and depicts the pure and innocent cuteness of children and animals with unprecedented rough lines and watercolor markers. It sets the next phase for manga depicting the innocence of children.
