ShiShi Yamazaki is a Tokyo-based artist known for her bright, girly watercolor aesthetic brought to life through rotoscoping—that painstaking animation technique where you trace drawings frame by frame to create movement. It's labor-intensive work, but it gives her pieces a distinctive hand-drawn quality that sets her apart.
She got major attention in 2017 when she created a short film for Chanel starring Cara Delevingne, proving that her style could work brilliantly in high-fashion contexts. Since then she's worked with other big names like Airbnb and Shiseido. Her original animated short "YA-NE-SEN a Go Go"—a playful, dance-focused piece—screened at SXSW and shows her range beyond commercial work.
