About Yuko

Hi! I'm Yuko! I'm the illustrator/artist at Honeyberry Studios. I live and work out of my home studio in Seattle, Washington. I like to create art that is joyful, happy, and accessible. I get my inspiration from everyday small things, nature, animals, and food.

Mushrooms!

A few weekends ago, we went on a mushroom hunting extravaganza near Mt. Rainier National Park, which is about 2 hours south of Seattle.  We rented a cabin with a bunch of friends and had an awesome time hanging out, cooking, eating, crafting etc. etc.

We saw many interesting mushrooms while we were out.  Though not all of them are edible, they’re sure beautiful!

Here are some sketches I made of them 🙂

Lobster mushrooms.  Edible.  Smells and tastes seafood-y.  Good shellfish alternative if you don't or can't eat shellfish.
