Yuko Okabe

Yuko Okabe’s illustrations are intricate and complex but mostly they’re warm. Don’t sleep on the bouncy shapes and colorful textures — her visual language has the innocence and optimism of children’s book illustrations but the depth of adult maturity. Life is sometimes overwhelming and chaotic but usually it’s inspiring and hopeful.
