Yeah, very few and sort of grungy pictures for this one. Reason: it's printed on a glossy paper that, for some reason, is very resistant to being photographed well; and, as you know, I'm vehemently against unbiding stuff. Weird, because the cover - and the cover only - is on matte paper... well, one more reason to actually check out the provided links, isn't it?
Frame is a short, full color, square format 2018 collection of works by illustrator / animatory syo5. Apparently, they're sort of a big deal, working mostly as a freelance artist for book covers, and as a director /animator for music videos. This last bit is actually unsurprising, as the illustrations collected in Frame have a cinematic quality, in the literal sense: we are often presented with a sequence of images, as if we were looking at still frames of an animation. Colors are rather somber in general, and the grain has a sort of faded quality, as if looking through a hazy glass -- a visual style you can see in their video works as well, see for example Minami's Ame Wo Matsu, for which Syo5 directed and animated.
The dōjinshi is super short, 16 pages total, so one could argue there isn't much meat to it, considering that the collection lacks any sort of textual contextualization, from which I assume it to be a crop of personal works or practice pieces. Not the kind of stuff I usually enjoy - it's a bit too mainstream and polished for my taste - but, judging from their Twitter and Instagram following, I'd definitely in the minority. You might enjoy it!
