ILLUSTRATION 2018 presents the “NOW” of Japan’s illustration scene, collecting art work from 150 artists spanning over 300 pages of illustrations. Every artist’s page comes a short profile together with some of his/her most representational art work.

(above) Ilya Kuvshinov, a Russian born illustrator currently based in Japan. An interview with the artist is included at the end of this book, and definitely check out his art book Momentary too.

(above) Absolutely in love with Kumaori Jun’s soft, pastel colored illustrations. Read my review for her art book.

This huge volume is an excellent way to catch up with the best illustrators working in Japan right now. Recommended.
