These amazing illustrations are by husdband and wife team Aaron Piland and Ayumi Kajikawa Piland, otherwise known as APAK. They are known in particular for creating rich and colorful gouache/acrylic paintings on wood featuring the utopian lives and adventures of curious little beings living in lush fantastic environments surrounded by friendly little animals, the landscapes are familiar yet surreal, hinting at a fantastic narrative while suggesting truths about the real world at the same time.
