Seitaro Murakami

Born in Tokyo in 1993, he graduated from the Department of Design, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2018. Ikutaro Murakami's works are mainly still life illustrations made with colored pencils, and when he creates, he reconstructs the colors and shapes of still lifes with his own feelings, and the bright colors and blurred shapes create a strong sense of attraction and mystery, and are highly decorative.

Ikutaro Murakami's work is currently mainly posted on his personal Twitter and Instagram, and every time he updates his work, it attracts a lot of fans to watch and like, and offline, he has also successfully organized several solo exhibitions.

Sayuri Nishikubo

Born in 1992, Tomozo Mizukoshi graduated from Tama Art School with a bachelor's degree, majoring in graphic design, and it can also be seen in her works that after the elements of geometric figures are extracted and reorganized and integrated, the picture will express a crazy and interesting two-dimensional space world in a humorous and abstract form. She likes to do some handmade works and make her own pattern designs into real objects.

Naijel Graph

In recent years, in addition to being a creative element in the clothing industry, illustration has become a mainstream promotional technique in Japan, and Naijel Graph's works are often featured in print ads for various brands, including New Balance, Nike, and BEAMS. Back in 2014, Naijel was invited by Takahiro Kinoshita, then editor-in-chief of POPEYE, to draw the cover for the April issue of "City Boys ABC".

What distinguishes Naijel's paintings from other illustrators is that he is adept at using colorful watercolors to create works without unnecessary brushstrokes or repetitive lines, and to express the subject matter directly and fully. If you've seen Naijel's work, it's easy to see that most of his work revolves around American elements, especially the film and hip-hop culture of the '80s and '90s.
