Illustrator Eita's Nightmarish Aesthetic World 'Call me chef Eita Art Book' to be Released on May 22

Pastel goth, creepy cute, nightmare, schoolboy, vaporwave, traumakore, decora, webcore, jirai sweet... Eita's first collection of works is filled with captivating characters adorned with unsettling darkness and cute fashion! Eita, who creates decorative fashion illustrations featuring original characters with unique embellishments, is gaining popularity, especially among students. Eita has collaborated with Laforet Harajuku for POPUP STORES, Thank You Mart, and apparel brands, and has also worked on VTuber music videos and illustrations. Eita is also one of the representative artists using "ibisPaint," a digital illustration app widely popular among young people for drawing on smartphones. Furthermore, the culture of "internet aesthetics," which has spread globally since around 2019, is connected to Eita's style. This trend, which compiles various sensations into numerous aesthetics, such as dreamcore (conveying surreal and nostalgic impressions from visions of dreams, fantasies, and memories), traumakore (showing a chain of images symbolizing a sick feeling or emotional wounds), and liminal spaces (evoking anxiety from empty corridors or lobbies), has garnered significant international attention, and Eita's style, which expresses these, has a major impact. Eita is also the original concept and character designer for the animation "Dream Photobooth," which depicts this worldview and has received a huge international response, with Instagram followers rapidly increasing. This book is Eita's first art collection, featuring over 120 illustrations to date, and a detailed making-of article for the cover illustration.
