Tadanori Yokoo




Japanese graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker. At first I was drawn to the loud and jumbled arrangements of these posters, but I then could see that they were a mix of collage, photographs, as well as drawings.

Reading further, I found that Yokoo's posters are actually very autobiographical. They are reminiscent of 60's psychedelia however there is something magical / carnival-like about them too.

I like when things have parts of stories or narratives woven into them, especially if it isn't so obvious at first.
