A course by Estudio Kudasai
Azul Piñeiro was embarking on her career as a children's illustrator when she decided to found Estudio Kudasai with graphic designer Carlos Higuera. Thanks to their shared passion for Japanese culture and aesthetics, they decided to specialize in kawaii-style illustration.
