From Naoko's Stoop: The Story Begins Under the Ocean

I have been in many blues recently.

Swimming in the aqua.

Feeling the cold dark navy.

The story begins under the ocean.

Naoko Stoop: Hello world, my name is Naoko Stoop. I am a Brooklyn, New York based selftaught illustrator. I create childhood images in my loft studio.

I’m trying to bring out the five-year old in people through my artwork. Because I believe that is the last moment before children start learning how complicated the world is, and that was when I once stopped drawing. It took me decades to come back to myself.
Now? Here I am drawing everyday!

New York Times Best Illustrated Picture Book "Red Knit Cap Girl" is available from Hachette Book Group.

Grew up in Tokyo, Japan,
Creating in Brooklyn, New York,

My childhood hero was Nausicaä, and my favorite character is Moomin.
