Big thanks go out to Yuka Yamaguchi for contributing this piece, “Simple Minded,” to Neojaponisme. For those of you familiar with her work — maybe from her exhibition at Cafe Pause earlier this year — you’ll notice that this piece eschews colors and is a pencil-only piece (except for the bloody red homage to Neojaponisme’s site aesthetics). She says she quite enjoyed using pencils again, and is thinking of doing more works in the same way for an upcoming show in San Francisco.
Update: Yuka explains how she approached the piece.
