Yoko Honda

Potentially my new favourite illustrator, I am obsessed with Japanese artist Yoko Honda’s homages to all things 80’s. Through a combination of digital painting and print, she constructs scenes of resplendent kitsch, made up of palm trees, motels, neon signs and swimming pools, all inter-dispersed with structured lines, tiles or interior architecture. I particularly love her mountainous dreamscapes complete with multiple moons and UFOs, all in her signature colour palette. Her latest litho-printed book of works, ‘Summertime Love’, is available to pre-order now from bellykids, but for now, you can follow her on instagram @yokopium.
