Pizza, babes and cute monsters here from Kimiaki Yaegashi

Just because you’re an artist doesn’t mean your muse has to be a person, smell or sound, it can be anything! Kimiaki Yaegashi has totally got the right idea, as she draws her inspiration from the best food in the world – pizza! Taking the inspiring pizza she then drapes it over a beautiful girl and makes her carry it around interacting with various kindly looking monsters and creatures. Sometimes the girl in question takes photos of the creatures on her phone, sometimes she sticks pizza down the back of her underwear. Sounds a little crazy I know, but have you seen how cute these pictures are? Kimiaki, make a cartoon, we beg you, a cartoon, please!
