Are you familiar with
Midori Yamada? She’s a Japanese
illustrator. I first saw one of her cat
watercolors last year and absolutely fell in love with her work. Even after seeing her diverse portfolio, they
still remain my favorite.
I’m very interested in the
way she uses plants and flowers as an element of pattern for the cat’s to
become submerged in. Even when used as a
design element, she takes such great care with each leaf and petal, making sure
they retain their individual integrity and delicacy.
The eyes of all her cats
hold a certain edge, a little bit of mystery and darkness, which mesh with the
hazy tone of her palette. Their gazes
draw you in and hold you.
Aside from cats, Yamada has a range of enchanting subject matter including fish, girls, plants, and comics. You can check out all of her work and other projects on her website, midoriyamada.net.
