Kazuki Takamatsu ~ Artist
Japanese artist Kazuki Takamastsu is a master of graphic design, animation and modeling, mashing all three skills together to create his works. Using 3D and 2D computer rendering and acrylic gouache painting to bring it all into reality. Or at least the reality that hangs on a wall in a gallery.
These ominous, faceless, colour-less & context-less girls are more then a little creepy.
The images are similar to the “answers” to those old Magic Eye 3D illusion books, but with a splash of Japanese animation influence.
Fu^*ing brilliant!
If you happen to be hanging out in Omotesando , Tokyo – you can check out his work at Spiral Gallery from 28th Oct-3rd Nov 2009. If not only for a look at the fantastic Spiral Gallery itself!
Hit more to check out more of Takamastu’s work.
Special thanks to Kazuki Takamatsu getting in contact for info on his methods of creation.
情報をありがとう！

My Neighbor Totoro ~ Amazing Framed Poster available
This caught my eye online the other day. I have been pining over it ever since.
One of the great iconic animated images of our time; this massive My Neighbor Totoro movie poster measures 28.5″ x 40.5″.
The ultimate symbol of magical Japanese animated cinema.
Anyone who lives in wellington should pick it up. Be prepared to drop a stack and a half to do so though.
Available for $719NZD by pickup only in Wellington, NZ.
Good work Popup Gallery.

Geeky. Its very geeky, but I found some really cool little USB keys -
Which of course are always useful, each one being able to store at least 4GB. Thats enough for a couple of movies and a handful of songs to go with them.
I have been wanting to get one of these little sticks for quick transfers when I am in a rush.
Anyway Check them out below:
More after the jump… (more…)

the pacific trailer.
The new series of Band of Brothers is coming up. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielburg’s war drama/re-enactment – This is very much a boy show. Girls get lost.
Looks epic…if a little cheesy. Hope its not overly biased towards America’s perspective of the war.
