Beautiful Bizarre, the art magazine, web and social media network, featured an exclusive interview with Japanese artist Nanaco Yashiro ahead of the artist's first solo exhibition in the United States this summer.

In "Bittersweet Refuge: An Interview with Nanaco Yashiro, Painter of Nostalgic Dreamscapes," Beautiful Bizarre's Elizah Leigh discusses fantasy worlds, fairy tale imagery, supersaturated color, William Morris patterns and art's power to inspire hope with Nanaco Yashiro.

​Check out the interview on the magazine's website here (with Nanaco Yashiro's remarks translated by Paper Crane's Erica Williams). And be sure to take a look at Wonderland: The Art of Nanaco Yashiro (PIE International), the first complete collection of the artist's work.

Fans of the popular  Shonen Jump/VIZ manga series The Promised Neverland, by Kaiu Shirai, will be thrilled to see this first collection of art works by the series artist Posuka Demizu. 

Originally published in a bilingual English/Japanese edition by PIE International in Tokyo, PONE: Posuka Demizu Art Book is now available in a bilingual German/French edition from Carlsen Manga (Germany) and Kaze France. 

This stunning art book showcases the characters and scenes created by this rising star in the world of manga illustration so far, and also features several new works created especially for this title.

At Paper Crane Agency, we are delighted to represent PIE International in their collaboration with Carlsen Manga. We hope that this edition will reach even more fans of Posuka Demizu's mesmerizing works.
