| Yuki Uebo is a Tokyo-based illustrator whose work is heavily influenced by the the culture of the city; such as the busy streets, use of colours, and general messiness. She graduated The Royal College of Arts, Design Products (MA), London and worked for a digital art production company in Tokyo before starting her illustration career. She is interested in stereotypical images of Japan and through her illustrations she tries to redefine traditional Japanese culture as seen from a foreign perspective into a pop and fun expression. 2022 World Illustration Awards 2022 AOI Members Award Winner 2025 Communication Arts Illustration Annual 66 Award of Excellence 2025 Solo Exhibition at Seikosya in Kyoto |
