早秋丸 (Maruko)

早秋丸早秋丸 aka Maruko is a freelance illustrator currently residing in China.

“I like advertisements and publications. Based on my desire to interact with more different types of projects and themes, last year I began to accept illustration commissions from clients around the world. Whilst working on these projects, I was surprised to find that I gained a lot of new inspiration at the
same time.”

Maruko likes to paint emotional works, and her art has been awarded in professional illustration competitions. Her group of works entitled ‘INSIDE’ won the 2018 illustration group in the CECA Review Award and was subsequently included in the competition exhibition.

In 2019, her original comic series, The Grey Fairytale was shortlisted in the MISTART award.
