Herikita Expresses the Feels in Her Series of Odd Illustrations

herikitaconk-1

On Herik­i­ta’s Face­book page, she writes, “I do things with my hands that I imag­ine in my head, so peo­ple can see it too.” This sen­ti­ment describes her soft, illus­tra­tive work per­fect­ly. Her images and imagery are undoubt­ed­ly strange, but in a way that’s relat­able. Many of the inte­ri­or scenes are like an dia­logue ver­bal­ized, and as a view­er, I rec­og­nize what that is and how it feels to say those things out loud.

In addi­tion to the feels, Heriki­ta also cre­ates loose, delight­ful­ly odd col­lec­tions. A beet, hair­less cat, and bed all make up a sin­gle illus­tra­tion. They seem like a non-sequitur to me, but per­son­al to the illustrator.
