Combining the two art styles of [manga and graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation), Ayami Kawashima successfully creates an art style that he can claim as his own. The paintings depict the typical manga fantasy girl surrounded by tiny little sketches created in [graffiti style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti). The little sketches that surround the female character are either creepy or sweet. Well, whatever reaction these paintings garnered from me, I know that I want to see more. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Manga-graffiti Fusion:** Opportunities for art, fashion, and home decor brands to collaborate in creating products that combine the manga and graffiti art styles. - **Hybrid Artwork:** The potential for artists in various media to experiment with combining different art styles to create unique and captivating pieces. - **Pop Culture Crossover:** The possibility for entertainment companies to explore collaborations between manga and graffiti artists in creating new intellectual properties, such as video games or comics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art:** Ayami Kawashima's artwork shows the potential for emerging artists to gain exposure and build a following by creating unique and innovative pieces that combine different art styles. - **Fashion:** Designers can incorporate Ayami Kawashima's bold and eclectic aesthetic into their collections by featuring graphic prints that blend manga and graffiti art styles. - **Home Decor:** Home goods retailers can draw inspiration from Ayami Kawashima's artwork to create a line of products, such as wall art or decorative pillows, that combine the manga and graffiti art styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Drone-Assisted Landscape Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katsu-1.md) - [Vibrant Artistic Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japonisme-1.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Anime-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-kaikai-kiki.md) - [Destructive Nature Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keita-miyazaki.md) - [Demon Slayer Paint kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Demon-Slayer-Paint-Kit.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Digital Graffiti NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-wall-collection.md) - [Evolved Vibrant Graffiti Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jan-kalb.md)
