The Artwork:
The artwork is inspired by Japanese horror artist Shigeru Mizuki, who popularised the horror manga and anime series Gegege No Kitaro and was a master of the ‘yokai’ genre (Japanese supernatural creatures).

Annie vs Paradise Kiss

A Singapore-based illustrator with an aesthetic inclination of everything weird and wonderful, Annie Tan’s works have ranged from fashion, advertisement, documentary and editorial illustrations, as well as character designs and comic strips. It is through her unique graphic interpretation that Annie portrays her bold ideals, making each piece of artwork a deeply personalized commitment to perfection.

The Artwork:
It is a playful rendition of the manga and anime series “Paradise Kiss” through the artist’s eye. Annie uses three of the characters, Caroline, Miwako Sakurada and Isabella, and their stories for composition. The artwork creates a world of Victorian grandeur, with a sense of quirkiness.
