A host of top titles call on the wonderful editorial illustration of Assa Ariyoshi

Date
24 November 2014

I came across Assa Ariyoshi’s work while perusing the latest issue of Mood Magazine where it brought alive a feature on the weird and wonderful world of Icelandic cuisine. I love the way how in this surreal dinner party scene the shark looks like he’s drunkenly ranting at the puffin. We’ve all been on both sides of this I’d wager.

Anyway a dig through Assa’s portfolio revealed a real treasure chest of visual delights, with the likes of Stylist, The Debrief, The International New York Times and Oh Comely queuing up to commission the Japanese/Dutch creative. There’s also some charming personal work, in the form of her Tanlines series and Bite, a book about our relationship with food. Talented, versatile and able to make a shark look tipsy? Assa, you’re our kind of person.
