Kind Of Pretty

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!

Special thanks to Kazuki Takamatsu getting in contact for info on his methods of creation.

Thanks to arrestedmotion for this.

Hit that jump to see the rest of her skeletons waiting for colour.

Audrey Kawasaki

Wish you were here

Audrey Kawasaki’s amazing girls.

Anime-inspired, sexually driven, and deviously sweet but seductive, Audrey Kawasaki’s girls are amazing.

The American-Japanese artist whose work has gone from best to better. She hasn’t released anything in a while, and is no doubt warming up to her solo show at Jonathan Levine Gallery NY in december.

Take a second to look back over her older work after the jump.
