Ayu Tomikawa
Born: Japan Resides: San Francisco
Vision:
Ayu Tomikawa grew up in an isolated house on a rather steep hillside
in a small village in Japan. To entertain herself she created
a fantastic world of imaginary friends. Her favorite books were
Grim Brothers' tales. She liked to imagine she lived in the dark
woods and castles found within these whimsical tales.
When she was 10 years old she was introduced to the comic book.
This new world of images and fantastic tales inspired her to begin
drawing her own wonderful story.
Her journey from that isolated home on the hill has lead her down
many different paths from making comic books to shouting in a
girl's punk group to designing wildly colored furry hand bags.
Currently she is focusing on woodcut printmaking, which seemed
to come to her most naturally. Now living with a loving husband
in a cozy studio, Ayu keeps carving her images everyday.
