AKI YAGUCHI
ARTIST & ILLUSTRATOR | IG @AKIYAGUCHI
Aki Yaguchi is a Japanese-Australian artist and illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia.
aki’s work explores the interplay between her heritage and femininity, and is often centred around Tobu Hime, or ‘floating girls’; they are the visual representation of Aki’s imagination, a vehicle for her creativity, a mascot for her identity, and a friendly companion. Her art spans across multiple mediums, including paintings, drawings, large scale murals, digital works, sculptures, installations, and designs for apparel/merch. Aki has been illustrating since childhood, however she began cementing her art career after a commission by legendary surfboard shaper, Tom Wegener.
credits include Nike, Vans, Puma, kirin, Ironlak, Montana Colours, Tint Paint, and Mecca Cosmetica. She has also designed works for musicians such as Courtney Barnett, Tkay Maidza, and Vetta Borne.
