"We are a Japanese-Argentinian creative duo specializing in illustration. Our universe is filled with color, energy, humor, and irony. We love lettering, characters, patterns, and a nostalgic pop aesthetic. Our style is diverse, and we usually create complex illustrations; however, we also enjoy creating work that finds its strength in simplicity."
