Tomokazu Komiya’s official interview describes a practice built around experimenting with physical materials. He uses acrylic gouache, then works into it with tools such as pencils, ballpoint pens, and markers. He also discusses his background in oil and watercolor painting and his work for children’s books and magazines. Rather than smoothing away every eccentricity, he makes room for a recognizably personal style. His cards reward attention to gesture, expression, and the marks on the page.
