above top: book cover illustration by Shinjuko, above bottom: illustration taken from her website http://vejcom98.rsjp.net/shinjuko/Japanese multimedia (I think) artist. I also think she is a little bit crazy from reading her writing...
I saw a CD sleeve art that Shinjuko had produced for Gwen Stefani's album "Love. Angel. Music. Baby" in a magazine. I'm not a fan of Gwen Stefani (in fact, I'm too closed-minded and stubborn to listen to pop music) but her painting was very striking. I couldn't find that image to put up here...maybe it was a limited edition thing...but I did find some of her other paintings. I'm not sure why I like them.
They have a childlike quality similar to the paintings of Arai Ryoji above but I think this child is a bit older (starting to copy manga characters maybe) and quite spoilt, definitely not meek. Bit of a brat, really.
But I like them!
