MUSTONE was born in the Tokushima Prefecture in 1976, where he continues to reside and base his artistic practice. Since graduating from Tama Art University, he has published original comic books including “Nekoman,” while in parallel pursuing his expressive activities in galleries and the street art scene. Over the course of his career, MUSTONE has produced numerous works referencing Japanese cartoons and video games in accordance to the methodologies of appropriation art, which in itself had served as an important context for the formation of pop art represented by artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

MUSTONE 於 1976 年出生於德島縣，他持續居住在該地並進行藝術實踐。自從多摩美術大學畢業以來，他出版了包括《Nekoman》在內的原創漫畫書，同時在商業畫廊和街頭藝術界分別開展活動。在他的職業生涯中，MUSTONE按照挪用藝術的方法論創作了大量參考日本漫畫和電子遊戲的作品，這本身就為以安迪·沃霍爾和安迪·沃霍爾等藝術家為代表的波普藝術的形成提供了重要的背景。
