Hello Y’all!

Hello everyone, I'm Shime, an Atlanta-based illustration artist with a deep passion for using line and color to craft captivating stories. My artistic journey is rooted in my Japanese heritage, with "Shime" being my middle name passed down from my parents. Through my art, I strive to pay homage to my family and culture by weaving elements of Japanese storytelling and aesthetics into my creations.

My work revolves around creating fantastical worlds populated with fantasy creatures that not only reflect my own narrative but also embody the rich storytelling traditions of my heritage.

Beyond my personal journey, I'm excited about bringing other stories to life through my illustrations. Whether it's through book covers, character designs, or visual narratives, I aim to evoke emotions and spark imaginations in those who experience my art.
