Though they seem more like pieces of art than pieces to be worn in the playground, Max, Rose and I perused Gucci’s Spring Summer 2018 collection for children that includes garments and accessories featuring whimsical motifs of cats, dogs and bunnies by Japanese artist Yuko Higuchi. We also took a look at Yuko Higuchi’s website. I asked the kids what they thought.

The kids on Yuko Higuchi’s artwork:

Max: These are really nice and creative pictures. I like them.

Rose: They’re very cool. I like how the pictures change on her website and the colours and animals change but there’s always animals in them; maybe sometimes the animals are painting, maybe sometimes the animals are chilling.

Over on the Gucci site, Yuko Higuchi herself spoke about her inspiration behind her work. Here’s some of what she had to say:

Does your work feature any motifs that are personal and special to you?
I have some motives that I draw repeatedly, persistently. For example, snails, giant creatures, plants, hairs, eyeballs, tails, children, etc. They certainly have some charms in their shapes, but maybe they also have “something” that forces me to draw them…Maybe I keep drawing them looking for this “something”.

Are the dogs and cats you draw inspired by real animals you know if so can you tell me about them?
Many of the models are real animals I know. The one I draw the most should be “Nyanko”, a Ragdoll cat, and a real cat I have in my house. I also draw dogs and cats in my friends’ house, or the cats, birds or insects I once had with me. As I live with a cat now, the cat could probably be the most common thing I draw.

Do you imagine the animals you draw have personalities?
Yes. When I have a real model, its personality is reflected. And also that of its owner…I usually imagine for each model its own story or personality. Even if there is no real model, I always have a certain image of each character. For example, a goldfish which loves brilliant gems, a plant with an eye which can communicate by telepathy…etc. I imagine its own story or the way how it is living.

Let’s Hang Out

  • ‘everything in the world comes down to time in the end. happiness is a time you’re looking forward to, or time you look back on. it’s all about time passing.’
#annetyler

i was chatting with my grown-up son the other day and we were agreeing that right now, sometimes it feels like time has just... stopped. i have a lot of space to just be. sometimes i find myself reliving happy moments in my mind.

it’s interesting the things that come back to you. the clarity that perspective brings. the narrowing down, and the sifting through. what rises to the surface, when the noise falls away.

this one and her brother couldn’t be loving #stayhome life more. they’ve entertained each other and us (including writing, directing and performing a post-apocalyptic themed play), they’ve embraced having their dad and i take turns teaching them (they made up their own anthem for homeschool), and while they’ve spent more than their fair share of iso school hols on screens, basically,
during these strange and trying times, they’ve been, and are, a joy and a delight ✨
here i tried to take a portrait of rose and she turned the camera on me. because that’s what your children will do, right?
  • a couple of weeks ago i tried to fathom the current state of things as a whole. mistake. being newly single and separated from the little kids for part of the week adds another layer to things. this is just my deal right now. everyone has their own stuff going on. it’s a lot. 
never have i ever spent so much time in public parks and gardens. i think we all have a greater appreciation of the world that isn’t human right now. the other day, apropos of nothing, rose said to me: i love nature. and i feel like humans just build things and wreck everything. they don’t care about nature unless it helps them. 
max started telling her how she could help (regeneration programs) i started talking about voting.
but mostly i hugged her, and said yeah, that’s true. cause humans. sheesh.

comparatively speaking, we’re doing okay here. but i share this now, cause when i read of other’s struggles, for a moment i feel less alone. maybe hearing mine will do that for you too 🤍
