"Grace"
333mm × 242mm / F4
Model: Elly Kawaguchi

I painted this after we caught up at the two-person exhibition in February—it made me feel like this was something I truly wanted to capture.
It’s about love.

The lighting is entirely imagined, but I’m relieved it turned out just right.

You’re free!

“In The Dawn”
227 mm × 158 mm / SM

This piece will be exhibited at the ACT Small Works Exhibition 2026 at The Artcomplex Center of Tokyo.
The exhibition runs from April 29 to May 10.

I approached this work a little differently than usual
(though it may not look that different at first glance).

I feel that I was able to capture a sense of soft, gentle light in this piece,
so I would be very happy if you could come and see it.
wip.
My illustration is featured on the cover artwork for meseta.

mesetaさんのアルバムジャケットにイラストを使用していただきました!

自分は2018年頃にSpotifyを利用し始めたのですが、そこで音楽を漁っているうちに出会ったのがmesetaさんの音楽でした。

エレポップ、ドリームポップ、シューゲイザー、チルウェーブ、エレクトロニカ…。
そういった音楽が好きな自分には、「好き」が詰まった音楽でした。

早速SNSをフォローしたところ、フォローを返してくださり、「アルバムアートを依頼したいです」とメッセージまでくださいました。

自分の好きなミュージシャンのアルバムアートを担当できる。
こんな幸せがあるでしょうか。
これもSNSドリームですね。本当に光栄です。

実はお話をいただいたのが2021年。約5年越しです。
mesetaさんのお仕事の忙しさがひと段落し、最近は音楽に割ける時間が増えたとのことで、今回リリースとなりました。
そしてタイトルが「Wait」。

今回の楽曲はハウス寄りの浮遊感のあるエレクトロ・ポップ。
ボーカルは、これまでのシューゲイザー的な儚さとは少し違い、エモーショナルで新しい一面が聴けて嬉しいです。

過去作を集めたアルバム「Attic Tapes」、シングル「Come and See」、デビューEP「Drifting」もそれぞれ素晴らしいので、ぜひ聴いてみてください!


My illustration has been used for meseta’s album cover artwork.

I started using Spotify around 2018, and while digging through music there, I came across meseta’s music.
For someone like me who loves electropop, dreampop, shoegaze, chillwave, and electronica, it felt like music filled with everything I love.

I immediately followed them on social media, and to my surprise they followed me back and sent me a message saying they would like to ask me to create the album artwork.

Being able to work on the album art for a musician I truly love… I couldn’t be happier.
It really feels like an SNS dream. I’m deeply honored.

In fact, I first received the offer in 2021—so it’s been about five years in the making.
After a busy period with work, meseta recently found more time to focus on music again, which led to this release.
And the title is “Wait.”

This new track is a floating, house-leaning electropop song.
Compared to the fragile, shoegaze-like vocals heard in previous works, the vocal here feels more emotional, revealing a new side that I’m really happy to hear.

Their compilation album Attic Tapes, the single Come and See, and their debut EP Drifting are all wonderful as well, so please give them a listen!
Happy New Year!
Wishing you all the best this year.

To mark the new year, I’ve refreshed my website.
I kept the design simple, hoping it would feel like walking through an exhibition.
The site currently goes back to my solo exhibitions from 2023—I’d be happy if you took a look.
