Fumio Watanabe

you know, i swear a LOT in real life. i first spotted Fumio Watanabe‘s work on Kistina’s tumblr, and when i clicked through to his portfolio i actually said, out loud, “fucking hell.” i try to keep things clean on the blog because i know a lot of people don’t appreciate swearing (apologies for all the trash talk) – but i have to be honest with you, his work is so fucking mind blowing i consequently swore more than usual. but in a good way… a great way!

and it’s not digital guys – these are painted! either acrylic or gouache, i’m not sure (lots of japanese to google translate)

the visual telling of stories, round two.

so i freaked out back when i found the visual telling of stories the first time. since then i’ve been quietly browsing, sending myself emails reminding me of links, artists, works i like. truth is i like most everything over there. here’s some.

the story of lipstick lizz just made me laugh. sort of reminds me of another liz (lemon)
