YOUNGKIT Artist Joint

YOUNGKIT X  Komori Yuki 

Komori Yuki, born in Toyama Prefecture in 1993, currently works as an illustrator in Tokyo. As an illustrator, her artwork focuses on capturing the fascinating daily lives of whimsical creatures that may only exist in the world of storybooks.

Yuki studied Japanese painting at an art college, where she learned the art of working with traditional paints. Although she is self-taught in illustration, the art instruction she received during her time at the university was invaluable to her growth as an illustrator.

Yuki's illustrations show the world in her mind and she hopes that her illustrations will resonate and be relatable to people. Her goal is to create illustrations that transcend the limits of reality and provide an experience that reminds people of the whimsy and fantasy of picture books. She has always adhered to the idea that the world in illustration should be free. A turtle with long legs or a hare with a long body can exist.

Yuki's illustrations for Youngkit are filled with vibrant colors and exaggerated expressions, bringing to life a vibrant and animated world. Each cute creature she portrays reflects Yuki's whimsical imagination and pure-heartedness. When we encounter these artworks, it feels as if we can momentarily escape from our hectic lives and immerse ourselves in a realm of fantasy and joy. Whether it's a lively rabbit, a peacefully hibernating turtle, a stealthy hunting tiger, or a whale gracefully diving into the depths of the ocean, these characters captivate us with their diverse personalities and endless charm. At the same time, they serve as a reminder for us to cherish the treasures within ourselves, to remain true to our initial aspirations, and to sustain our passion for the world. Through this collaboration of whimsical phone cases, Youngkit wish all of us to retain our childlike hearts, revel in the beauty that life offers, and hold onto the invaluable treasures that reside deep within us. May we never forget our origins and continue to embrace life with fervor and zeal.

YOUNGKIT X Milka Sukno

“My main inspiration is women, the feminine, nature and also geometry in broad strokes. I really like to create works that are striking but simple in terms of lines and colors, at some point when I started in illustration, my works had more details that sometimes I did them in a forced way, now I feel that I can listen to myself more and I know when to stop to add details and the truth is that I like the style that I have been developing up to now.”
The style of her paintings is soft, cozy, and delicate, and the images in her paintings are always so elegant. Her works are magical and when you look at her works, your heart will be very peaceful, and you will forget all the restlessness that makes you upset.

In these fast-paced times, people's pressure is increasing, patience is gradually decreasing, the pace is hurried, and some of them are busy but lost the direction of progress.
Although Youngkit was born in this impetuous era, we still hope that everyone can slow down, learn to balance fast with slow, to feel and enjoy the beautiful moments in life. As Youngkit’s slogan, #Just fun.
In these co-branding cases, you will see women, flowers, and cats, three of the most romantic things in this world. Put these cases on your phones! When you are restless inside, look at them, they can calm you down.
