PROFILE 略歴 Profile
神戸を拠点とするイラストレーター・漫画家。高校卒業後単身渡英し、ロンドンで映像制作を学ぶ。漫画のZINE(同人誌)を中心に活動し、2025年からアクリル画や水彩画、写真などの技法を取り入れる。デジタルで絵を描く前に、アナログで下書きをすることが多い。イギリスと大阪のお笑いをミックスさせたユーモアを作品に取り入れている。
Rage Kamiyama is an illustration and digital comic artist based in Osaka, Japan. They received a degree in digital film production in the United Kingdom which led them to think that visual storytelling is the best way to tell one's opinion.
They originally started their career as a graphic novel artist, and published more than ten independent zines. Some of them are distributed to independent bookshops in Tokyo. Then, they began exploring different methods, including visual diaries, photography, watercolour and acrylics in 2025. They often use analog paints and drafts before redrawing them digitally, to experiment with the theme and the composition.
Kamiyama produces both narrative and essay-based comics, and during their stay at GlogauAIR, they are focusing on creating essays in the form of comics. Kamiyama's essay comics are mainly based on what they encounter during their experience staying in Berlin. They try to find humour--a mixture of British and Japanese styles--in everyday life and then record it in the form of comics or zines. They place importance on combining analogue and digital techniques to add a more human-made touch to the comic.
