50 Powerful Illustrations By Japanese Artist That Will Make You Think
927Kviews
A picture is worth a thousand words... At least that's exactly how people feel when seeing illustrations by a mysterious Japanese artist Avogado6.
The illustrator and video editor don't share many personal details about his life. "I am an ordinary person who likes chemistry," he writes on his Twitter profile, but the meaningful drawings of the artist are far from ordinary.
Avogado6 manages to create sentimental, vivid images by drawing feelings and emotions that might seem hard to describe with words. And sometimes his sad drawings don't really need an explanation, as they convey the emotions so well, often hiding a harsh social issue behind them.
The artist has more than 650k followers on Twitter and has published two books. And his success is sure to grow bigger with time, as this Japanese art maestro delivers new deep meaning illustrations very often, deciphering problems with society and our inner fears better with each one.

Hoping for the parents you never had. Wanting a complete family...
Being carried away by the darkness in life, clinging on to the small amount of hope
there are multiple doors waiting to be opened by you in this tree of life
The night owl. Or insomnia, depending on how early you have to get up in the morning.
People are slowly chipping away at you, then they leave behind you and their tools of distruction
This is kind of what depression is like.. you try to stop crying but there isn’t really a reason for it., it makes sense to me
Note: this post originally had 108 images. It’s been shortened to the top 50 images based on user votes.
Shit these are deep. They're also beautiful, even tho I feel sad that I can (or used to be able to) relate to them. Stay strong peeps. You will find happiness. I promise.
Thanks for saying we will find happiness But sometimes, no matter hiw far we go, we might not achieve our goal(for me, happiness) and we just go on, never reaching our goal no mwtter how much we try.

as deep as a puddle on a hot day
Dang. Depression summed up very well in these pics. I admire this artist
I agree with your first part. He suffers from some serious depression, if he views the world like this. But having had to overcome my clinical depression, I don't admire this at all. Just thinking about this is depressing as all get-out. :(
I meant i admire his artwork and how well he expressed it. I could relate to some of his drawings so i admired the fact that he was very candid. I do worry about his depression tho. There's always hope
Yeah. But it's about a girl. I encourage you to look again. The red gloved hands/arms are feminine. It seems this woman he is involved with is toxic. Worst part is he knows this, but he feels he can't escape.
Depression sucks as hell but I'm glad he can relieve it, at least partly, by making and sharing these pictures. I wish I could hug the artist... (-:
Evan: no, not just you
EVAAAAAAN Lol sry deh fan...

GREAT INCOME Google paid each week on-line from home over $4000+ simply by operating merely on-line. Last month I actually have got paid $19523 simply by operating four weeks on-line. Its simply wonderful and my earnings ar currently far better than regular nine to five workplace job. This job is simply outstanding. attempt currently to induce additional money on-line from the small print here...... http://bit.ly/2mgS6mW
Is it just me that takes enormous pleasure in downvoting these 😂
So depressing. I stopped looking after 30. Sad, I hope the artist is getting some help.
I love reading all of the other interpretations on these drawings. We are all looking at the same picture but see different things based on our own unique life experiences and perspectives. Very interesting.
This is what I love about art: it gives us a way to express words we cant always find
I feel very sad for people that suffer like this, more so because my life has been a playgound, I've had so much enjoyment, fun, met some of the best people, and its all due due to blessings, karma, or just plain luck, undeservedly so.
Same. :D
Not necessarily undeserving, everyone deserves to be happy. Everyone has a path in life, and that's yours
These are all so beautiful in their honesty, simplicity, and accuracy. Thank you so much for posting!
There are stunning. Very well done and so accurate, I can speak from experience. I strongly believe that everyone has a path in life, and no one's is the same. However your life is going, there is a reason for it, and even if it may not seem like it, good things are possible. So never stop dreaming, never stop hoping, never stop living.
This post made me cry. It's heartbreaking to me that some people actually feel this way. I hope happiness is around the corner for all of you!
I loved this. Author is insanely talented .. all those ideas he/she came up with. Some of the pictures made me really think a lot.
Everyone downvote this comment
Most of them described what depressions are like. For someone who have been there, i completely understand
Heavy stuff. To me they're more introspective than depression oriented. Point of view I guess. Either way he's a talented person who deserves a close and thoughtful look.
Bleak and depressing as hell. But sadly I can relate to it all!!
I wish you better days
These are depressing as hell. There's something wrong with this guy's mind.
I agree. Maybe we don't understand what it's like to have depression
My tears... let them follow
Love at first sight
I felt the same as the every pic there is. Unfortunately for me, i am battling my inner by my own. Cause my partner and families think i am faking it and overreacting. Its hurt to feel alone and lonely and shitty like this.
I love all the pictures. They are lonely and beautiful at the same time, I love this art.
Amazing...Japanese people are amazing...I hope I`ll be born in Japan in next life :)
I loved them they make you think
Mmm...
You are very talented and I am sitting here at my desk in work thinking, yes time is passing me by, I am overworked and my batteries are just dead - thank you for posting xxxxx
made me cry every time 😥 😥 😥 😥
This isn't about depression, but the day to day of Japanese culture. That being said, it's not like any other country/culture has it right either.
This isn't depression. This is the demands of Japanese culture. Not that any other culture has it figured out.
Powerful drawings
If wasn't feeling suicidal after looking at these pictures I do now. I'd better not look any further or I might not be able to resist the temptation of jumping off a cliff.
I can relate to all of these because of my depression. Nobody's ever there to help me through.
"Powerful Illustrations By Japanese Artist" MAYBE THE ARTIST HAS A NAME THAT YOU WOULD CARE TO USE IN A HEADLINE!
I loved these, so artistic, so full of depth and feeling and longing and the human condition. I felt I could really relate.
I like that there are no titles. Makes you think in more than one direction. Thank you!
Life is hard.
Yikes, some of these hit really hard.
The comments on the individual pictures are mostly inane, obvious, and annoying AF.
Test
The hard truth
All of these are a proof that picture says a thousand words. Beautiful, deep, powerful. And I love how on some of them, everyone is having their own different view, showing how unique we all are.
At first glance these look simple. But they are actually realllllllly well done, with some beautiful subtle details. I love that there are different ways to interpret each painting. And that some pandas are willing to share their ideas.
See myself in almost all of these pics...
I hope the universe brings you better days
This does make me think..
you are just too shallow
I connected way too strongly with these. Depression, anxiety, overwprked, feeling like your drowning and your life if being wasted away . intense

so adolescent
Adolescence can be so difficult for some people.
Exactly. So brushing it off as just "teenage problems" can be a huge mistake

There is a difference between tragedy and depression - these images have nothing to say.
Tragedy can lead to depression. Obviously these pictures' message didn't resonate with YOU, but they still have a lot to say to other people.
Shit these are deep. They're also beautiful, even tho I feel sad that I can (or used to be able to) relate to them. Stay strong peeps. You will find happiness. I promise.
Thanks for saying we will find happiness But sometimes, no matter hiw far we go, we might not achieve our goal(for me, happiness) and we just go on, never reaching our goal no mwtter how much we try.
