ARTIST SOMETA

Started self-taught digital illustration in 2020. Mainly active on Instagram.
He works on artwork for songs and apparel, and will begin his career as an artist in 2022.
Influenced by Japanese manga, anime, games, and music from the 90's that he watched as a child, he began to draw pictures with a pop touch.
With the advent of SNS, matching apps, video sites, etc., the evaluation criteria for people and things has become based on numerical values ​​such as "likes" and followers.
In this day and age, where things are visualized and used as indicators, people's hidden desire to be seen as ``cute'' or ``awesome'' is starting to come to the fore more strongly.
``Something's bothering me'' that uniquely sublimates the inner feelings of people who seek approval and ``originality,'' and the ambiguity between reality and fiction.
She creates illustrations for girls that “look like someone”.
