Ob-chan's drawings are great, aren't they? He's an amazing talent." Takashi Murakami
As the word "amazing talent" suggests, Obi is an artist who made his debut at the age of 18 and has made it through the ranks the fastest. Having grown up surrounded by games and the internet, her works are a wonderful intertwining of a unique world and a sense of reality. The motif that can be said to be synonymous with ob is a girl's big eyes. What on earth are those eyes staring at that seem to suck the viewer in?
There are over 80 works included in this first art book, ranging from the four princesses, a new work created in collaboration with Shu Uemura in 2013, to early works. In addition, a long interview has been recorded to coincide with the publication, in which he talks about how his worldview was created and what he thinks about his future as an artist now that he has reached adulthood.
