For once in my life I came up with a perfect description of an artist’s work, and the lucky artist is Katogi Mari, a Japanese illustrator of many fine things. The work itself is (are you ready for the perfect description?) like a precious moments painting meets an anthropologie/urban outfitters catalog. At first I thought that would sound a little insulting, but if you look at these storybook illustrations, the gouache especially, you’ll see that the description is apt and complimentary. I couldn’t insult work this good if I tried. All of you hipster chicks out there looking for your next girly tattoo to impress your friends, this is a good place to start. At least it proves you have good taste.
