Ken Taya, also known as Enfu, is a bilingual Japanese American artist based in Seattle and San Francisco. His first book, Cute Grit (Chin Music Press, 2014), is a compilation of his digital artwork spanning more than 10 years, from 2004 to 2014. In his upcoming book, Enfu Inks, Ken returns to his analog roots, using black ink on shikishi boards. Ken currently works as a producer for the mobile-gaming company Supercell. He has been in the video-game industry since 2002 and has worked on such franchises as Halo and Scribblenauts. He has also worked on various other titles in mobile, console, and PC gaming. You can find some of his work in digital sticker capsules in CS:GO. Instagram: Enfu Enfu.com
