福田愛子・1986年生まれ。

ブリッジウォーター州立大学芸術学部グラフィックデザイン学科卒業・現在は東京を拠点に国内外で活動するイラストレーター。幼少時代からファッションに興味を持ち、母や姉から譲り受けた洋服たちを自分流にアレンジして着るのが好き子どもだった。ものに宿る「懐かしさ」や「思いで」「世代を超えたタイムレスな美」の価値観が、後にイラストレーターとして生きる彼女のクリエイションの基盤となる。

近年ではiPad Proを導入し、アナログとデジタルをシームレスに行き交い共存しあう表現方法に注力。ペン画を軸とした繊細はタッチはデジタルの世界でも変わることなく、紙とデジタルを掛け合わせた既成概念にとらわれない表現のあり方を追求している。

受賞歴：

2017年 MAKE IT ON MOBILE by Adobe Social Media Challenge 優勝

2018年 GMUND AWARD 2018 Private部門 入選

Aiko was born in Japan in 1986. She graduated from Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts with a B.A. in Graphic Design. After completing her studies Aiko returned to Tokyo and started working as an in-house Graphic Designer in the luxury fashion industry. Meanwhile, she was into drawing in which she found peace. She began pursuing illustration intensely on the weekends and in 2014 she became a full-time freelance illustrator.

Aiko’s work is fashion-inspired illustrations with a delicate, pen-drawn touch. Just as we choose the clothes we wear, the music we listen to, and the changing weather, her mood influences her drawings. Her curiosity never stops and she is constantly challenging herself with new illustrative methods and techniques, experimenting with the possibilities of combining the analogue and digital world.
