橋爪 悠也Yuya Hashizume

Born in Okayama and based in Tokyo. After ten years in sales and promotion for an outdoor brand, he began his career as a self-taught artist. His eyewater series, marked by a single tear on the cheek, leaves a quiet melancholy within bright colour. An admirer of Fujiko F. Fujio, he values lightness over weight in his compositions.
