![Don’t Look at Me Most of my personal work stems from challenges I’ve struggled with growing up. This piece touches on self-image and self-worth, something I think a lot of people have had to grapple with at some point in their lives.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/acb917_243c18a2a1994936abfc74c02a5b6a61~mv2_d_1281_1281_s_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_147,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/acb917_243c18a2a1994936abfc74c02a5b6a61~mv2_d_1281_1281_s_2.jpg)
My name is Yushin Kato. I am a visual designer and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York. Professionally I create commercial work, mostly digital design with occasional illustrations if given the opportunity. My personal work serves as a means of emotional expression. It is my way to gain a deeper understanding of my identity and how I relate to the world around me.
![My Body is Full of Poison This piece was actually an adaptation of an older illustration I did a few years ago. At the time, I was going through some pretty bad depression and I could feel all the negative energy inside of me affecting my physical health in addition to my emotional health. It just felt like everything inside of me was toxic.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/acb917_0c69771f021344e6ba2e4fedbc4416c5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_144,h_192,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/acb917_0c69771f021344e6ba2e4fedbc4416c5~mv2.jpg)
![Grace This was actually done as part of the 36 Days of Type (which I shamefully never finished). In this series I wanted to focus on figure studies while also developing a minimal style using delicate line work and playing with positive and negative space.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/acb917_b2aba240460b469a876ca035b0528c59~mv2_d_4500_4500_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_147,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/acb917_b2aba240460b469a876ca035b0528c59~mv2_d_4500_4500_s_4_2.jpg)
