emi ueoka's illustrations

Lines can be arranged in all sorts of ways for all sorts of purposes – a quick game of noughts and crosses, a structured space to write or a guide to cutting out a crafty project, for instance. Emi Ueoka uses lines to create the loveliest of illustrations, of schoolgirls quietly going about their schoolgirl ways. The Japanese artist moved to Melbourne back in 2011, and we're mighty glad she did, or we might never have stumbled across these gems. See loads more of her simple but sweet artwork here, or if you want to spend all day looking at it, you can purchase a piece from her online store.
