Meet CONVENIENCE YOUNG, an artist who "depicts the feeling of being born in a convenient era." We bring you an interview packed with the process and passion behind his work, from his approach to creation to the thoughts and behind-the-scenes stories of this collaboration, all the way to the final product.

The meaning of "CONVENIENCE YOUNG" is "young people born in a convenient era." It expresses the idea of asserting one's own existence, unconstrained by information or scenery, even while feeling overwhelmed by the constant abundance of convenient things. The background of the name is that shortly after I was born, my parents started a convenience store, and they would work the register while carrying me as a baby. Also, when I was in elementary and junior high school, it was a daily routine to always go play at the convenience store after school, and now those times are deep memories. I included the word "CONVENIENCE" in the name to also record these memories.

I value the unreserved expression of what I want to create, without being constrained by genre. This allows me, long after a piece is finished, to discover parts of myself I didn't know existed, such as realizing "I must have felt this way at the time." In this way, creating allows me to confront myself. Consistent with the meaning behind my brand name, as a young person born in a convenient era, I want to unhesitatingly translate the feelings that move my heart in the moment into my creations.

Precisely because we now have access to so much information and emotion through screens, it's incredibly encouraging when people make the effort to come in person, see my work with their own eyes, and I get to witness the emotions and humanity that arise in that very moment. I receive so much power and energy from those who directly share warm words of encouragement, telling me that my work gives them strength or makes them feel energized.

I had never created illustrations or characters for sci-fi itself, so I spent a long time deliberating on how to express sci-fi as CONVENIENCE YOUNG. However, as I decided on the names and personalities for each character, I naturally became engrossed in the creation process.

Since I had never drawn sci-fi elements before, this time I drew a sci-fi illustration different from my usual Convenience Young style. I would like you to freely interpret the themes and reasons behind how I drew each of the two illustrations. And I hope you enjoy the illustrations, each with a different expression for each item.

I'm looking for a case that can store all my PC accessories, such as USB drives and chargers, in one place.
