When I was in Tokyo, I visited Harajuku’s cool WALL store at LaForet. Inside the shop there was a young guy wearing a backpack talking to a group of friends. Meanwhile, I noticed the staff unpacking a cute new zine so I asked how much it was. They said to wait a minute, coz the artist was in the store and he would tell me the price! The artist was the kid in the backpack. I bought his zine and his artwork is cuter than a rainbow lollipop. His name’s Gunji Yusuke, he’s 24 and lives in Tokyo.

His website has heaps more of his artwork

Last year, he did an exhibition named Conpeito (traditional Japanese candy).
