Atomic Kiss

The most favourite artwork through London is Atomic Kiss by Joan Rabascall. 

As you can see, the Mushroom Cloud metaphor the atomic bomb. I was shocked by this picture. Because the atomic bomb has shocking, historical meaning for world, especially for Japanese.

The bottom of this picture, there are red lip. The red lip is emphasized by their luge. Because there are any other strong colour than lip.

I don’t know what Joan wants to say, but this picture is eye-catching.

Speaking about the manifesto of illustration, it should be eye-catching, political, valuable, and has a message. Atomic Kiss meets requirements of illustration.

Also, the poster that I draw with Nina, has lip. We wanted to show that the illustration is trying to talk to you on the wall. I think the Atomic Kiss has similar meaning.

This work is very shocking, and makes me sad, but I like it. Because this shows one of the issue that people have to think.
