I wish I could live inside the bubbly bright world of @kyoyp.st's instagram. Her dreamy, excessively girlish doodles are a unique kitsch, a rare delight in the sometimes dreary and black and white landscape of instagram. It's nearly impossible to not smile when you gaze into the twinkling bejeweled eyes of one of her creations, which is an incredible artistic achievement in itself. She kindly took time out of her day to answer a few of my questions.
What work are you most proud of?
I am most proud of being told that people were "healed" or "felt happy" because of my work.
Who are your artistic inspirations?
Katsuya Terada, Mucha, videos of domestic and foreign musicians.
What has been the hardest piece to finish?
It was a portrait. It was a very fun task though!
Did you go to art school or are you self taught?
I went to a vocational school of manga. When I was a high school student, I attended a preparatory school of art.
Do you remember the first thing you ever drew?
I remember. I drew a girl when I was three years old. I did not do it well. I practiced quite a bit.
What do you hope people feel when they look at your work?
I want people who see my pictures to feel happy, healed, or relaxed.
