Aya Takano

An artist I really like is Aya Takano. Her characters are often naked, but they're innocent and childlike, rather than sexual, and the pictures have a dreamy, futuristic quality to them. Some of her pictures are in a book I have, called
Drop Dead Cute, which is a compilation of several Japanese women artists.
But Aya Takano also has her own monograph, called Hot Banana Fudge. (I want this book!)

See some of Aya Takano's work here, at the Blum and Poe Gallery, in Los Angeles.
