24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tomowaka is an illustrator using simplified shapes and flat eye-popping color to create appealing illustrations of all types. This artbook contains minimal text, yet is fully bilingual in English and Japanese with the exception of the short manga comic in the back of the book which is only in Japanese.

From the publisher:

The first art collection from Tomowaka, who continues to draw fashionable art works 24/7.

Tomowaka is an illustrator who has fans of all ages and genders and who is active in a wide range of fields, including publishing, advertising and illustrations for music videos. This long-awaited first art collection features stylish portraits composed of simple, refined lines and pop colors, along with commercial works and original short manga comics.

Readers can fully enjoy Tomowaka's works on themes such as "Portrait", "Season", "Situation" and "Series" ("boy meets cat" on illustrations of boys and cats). That the fashion, accessories, and backgrounds of interiors are all stylish is an additional point.

The chapter on commercial works features a wide range of Japanese anime works and collaborations with singers and idols. There is also a short manga comic (in Japanese) at the end of the book.

This book has a distinctive cover and dust jacket design with high-quality binding. The colors, which are one of the charms of Tomowaka's works, are reproduced to the fullest extent possible using high-quality Japanese printing technology.
