Miyuki Sakai

Miyuki Sakai is a very interesting illustrator, who uses sewing techniques, in continuous line formations. She creates beautiful, and highly detailed pieces, with extraordinary care, and attention to perfection. She in my opinion, is one of the most unique illustrators I have researched to date #research #reportage

She grew up in Osaka, Japan, and she claims on her webpage, that she used to watch her mother make her family's clothes, using a needle and thread. This is probably the reason why she decided to adopt the unique idea of using a sewing machine.

She began her career as a freelance illustrator in the bustling city of Tokyo, after graduating from an art college in Kyoto. over the span of her career as an illustrator, she has won, and received many awards, a notable one being a bronze prize for the editorial design category in the ADC 2011 awards.
