Can't Stop That Drawing Feeling

"He lives and breathes drawings."

At 21 years old, Norimitsu Kokubo creates an imaginary world of a city from a bird's eye view and processes information in daily life through his own "filter." He slouches his tall slender body to draw images that are colorful, bright, and whimsical. He tends to wonder "what if he went to college, what if he worked at a regular company, what if he had no disability?", would his life be any different? He also often wonders how he will live his life after his parents pass away, which leads him to start preparing for his independence.

Can't Stop That Drawing Feeling is an intimate portrait of an artist who, through drawing, has overcome autism and garnered international attention and applause. With his colour pens, he found a way to express who he is and invites people into his world.
