Spotlight: 2d to 3d magic

'The Great Wave Off Kanagawa' from "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji"; done 1823-29 is a singularly famous image from the Japanese artist Hokusai. It seems to rush forward in 3d off the page.. you feel the energy and the depth of that water whilst viewing it from only one 2d angle...

So below is a piece of prop making mastery.. capturing that wave and creating into 3d display that has all the joy and realism of the true wave. The precision of that vision and construction are flawless and you wish that this was a piece of sculpture for your home, not just a temporary display in a shop front.



Again, Hats off the VM's.

Spotlight: another great Ginza Window

i'm sure every window dresser worth their pins and staple gun has done at least a few windows using coat hangers. I love the colour chosen for these and the smart use of the structure to allow for the perspex panel to be laid on top..



its the pinnacle of our art to make something seem so effortless.. and yet this probably took painstaking hours to weld them in place and create a solid weight bearing form.

big ups to the VM's.
