In 2010 I made a five-month trip from Sydney to Beijing. During my travels, I met so many great artists and designers that I knew that as soon as I returned home to Germany illustration would be my new path.
I worked on watercolor drawings and portraits, but something was missing and it would take me months to find my personal style. I was looking for a fast and bold way to bring the images and thoughts out of my head.
So I started a series of illustrations called "Mindshots" inspired by my daily life. The title was born from the ideas that often pop out while working, talking, watching a movie, hanging out with friends or while being bored in the doctor's waiting room. Some are socially critical, while others are just plain ridiculous.
My very first Mindshot creation was a bird wearing an oxygen mask. I had this image in my mind for months after visiting Sydney and Beijing with intense smog on my trip. After a few years, dozens of illustrations and positive feedback on my Instagram, I decided to make a book that included my 50 best Mindshots.
Last year I visited a book fair in Frankfurt with a rough draft of the book in my bag and now I am happy to say it is available on Amazon. Hope you enjoy!

Begging For Likes
Heidi Matsumoto 7 years ago
Ever since I had a Facebook account, I really can't understand why some people ask for Likes. They don't even get anything from it in return...maybe just an illusion of being liked by people but...yeah? Where's the profit? Sorry but I even find it stupid when people tag you on Facebook just to make you like some entry to win a contest...or worst...get grades! Seriously??? It'll just be about how many people you can tag/mention for Likes even though it's not really from the heart....

Africa: the origin of the human species. Exploited and damaged. Probably never to recover.

I like the style and the content. I would like to see drawings like these in the newspapers. It would be fitting.

Such an... elegant work! Thought provoking & to-the-point! These can most effectively initiate discussions about everything that matters - they do deserve a special place in school curricula. Thank you so much for sharing & may inspiration always be by your side! :)

Really creative and clear. I came here looking for ideas for a book spine label designating "mental health." I find that a real challenge. (It's for a library collection.) Not any bigger than a postage stamp which has its own challenges.

Really good. Some more powerful than others. The cyber captions were spot on.
