“I want them to love my paintings!” Under the slogan, they are active all over the world, mainly in Europe, America, and Japan, and are featured in world-class art fairs, exhibitions, and art-related magazines.

Basically, I draw “buildings,” “people,” and “comic illustrations.” Colored pencil drawings depict the theme of homosexuality and bewitching among women in their teens to 30s, and pencil drawings mainly include landscapes centered around European buildings.

Also, illustrations have been used as covers for CDs and novels in the past.
