During the Valentine's Day season, IBE's top page is tinted pink with various hearts peeking out.
The work was created by illustrator Ayaka Otsuka. Like a woodblock print, Otsuka creates a data sheet for each color, and then layers the data to create her works, which have a warmth as if they were hand-printed. Otsuka says she wants to create pictures that make daily life a little more enjoyable and enriching. The hearts of various colors and forms drawn with Otsuka's nostalgic yet new touch remind us that love comes in many forms.
As the words suggest, this heartwarming collaboration is sure to bring a lot of excitement to the Valentine's Day mood.
