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。帰国後企業にてグラフィックデザイナー・海外駐在員を経験したのちイラストレーターに転身。ペン画を軸とした繊細でノスタルジックな世界観はファッション誌や広告、美術館背景などで起用される。

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。新しい方法論や技法を積極的に取り入れながら最近は平面だけではなく、紙を使った立体的な作品やディスプレイ、デジタルを駆使したものなど表現領域は日々拡大している。

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.
