Whimsical Water-Focused Art

These Watery Illustrations Feature Colorful Bathing Suits and Tubs

— June 10, 2013 — Art & Design
This collection of watery bathing suit illustrations is called 'Into the Water' by talented artist Yuko Shimizu. These surreal drawings depict deep sea swimming, beach side tom-foolery and overflowing bath tubs.

Many of these swim-filled illustrations feature a group of women wearing swim caps, goggles, knee-high striped socks and matching bathing suits. Some of these pictures portray people diving down to touch the coral covered sea bed. There's something kind of majestic about these drawings. They seem to blend fantasy with summer fun. Another of these fantastic swim-focused illustrations features four women, each wearing a different color bathing suit. These bright cartoon characters are lined up in a row, each one diving deeper into the sea. I find it interesting that Shimizu also included a drawing depicting an overflowing bath tub in this water filled collection.

This swimtastic illustration series is filled to the brim with bizarre swimming formations and brightly colored bathing suits.
