By now I have most likely shared plenty of artists that most people would consider strange. However, none of them are all that strange to me, and none of them bother me in the slightest. When it comes to strangeness, I have become rather used to most anime art. There are a few exceptions though — the art of Toiku (といく) is one of them.

If Toiku’s doll-girls don’t fall into the “uncanny valley” then I have no idea what does. Though I think it is obvious that Toiku wants that. The whole experience of Toiku’s art takes place in that valley, polluted by a ghostly mist, rocking back and forth between alive and dead, human and doll, anime and reality. Toiku is a blur.
