Working Abroad

Yaeko Abe's delightful drawing appears in a recent issue of ELLE Girl Japan.
Asked to illustrate an article on individuals with idealistic ideas about moving abroad to study and work, Yaeko's wide eyed girl looks ready to conquer the world. She says of the commission "...the article features numerous real life stories about individuals who have experienced language barriers, cultural differences in difficult situations, and many other hardships while working in New York City, Los Angeles, London, and Paris".

New Look Ladies

These unique drawings created by Yaeko Abe are for New Look UK. To be used for an internal staff campaign including literature and a large format vinyl at the 3 head office cafes, the drawings evoke the innocent glamour typical of Yaeko's work.

Workbook Creative Carnival

The USA Illustration office had a fun adventure in NYC at the end of last year.  Taking part in the Workbook Annual Creative Carnival, the talented Yaeko Abe showed her skills in the live drawing portion of the evening.  Not only was it great fun to see the costumes modelled by live models, but all of the drawings were auctioned off for charity at the end of the night.  A super time was had by all! More information on the event.

Elle Girl Japan

Taking pride of place in August's ELLE girl JAPAN, is Yaeko Abe's artwork. Her fashion drawing successfully illustrates an article which talks of Japanese girls and women in their 20's and 30's, who are becoming successful in many aspects of business in Asian countries outside of Japan.
