Japanese illustrator Avogado6 (アボガド6) doesn't offer much of a description of himself in his Twitter profile, simply stating that "I'm an ordinary person who likes chemistry. I create video works," but one look at his thought-provoking artwork reveals that his interests run far deeper than that. The talented artist's illustrations often seem simple at first glance, but offer a poignant exploration of complicated mental and social issues, such as the debilitating nature of depression and a reliance on technology.

Recently, Avogado6's works also include a recurring pair of a grim reaper character and the angelic ghost of a deceased child who seem to be exploring the afterlife together.

Avogado6 has published several books available on Amazon, as well as his homepage. Below is a selection of some of Avogado6's outstanding work, with the titles translated into English.
