Observe.
Harajukuness. Anime eyes. Heck, anime. Punk Tokyo pop. Tattoos in the Asian style... (I am rambling because I am SO tired.)
Last week at work, I was walking around the framing station only to glance at what I thought was a famous Hokusai poster. Instead it depicted "The Divine Wave" frothing into millions of bunnies. I thought it was brilliant, and had actually never seen it before. Just a couple days ago I stumbled upon a badbutt website, featuring the very popular, half asian inspired illustrations of well... I won't mention their names. Check it:
Original + bunnies= Modern. At least that's what they do a lot of. Taking traditional well known woodblock print pieces from the Edo period and throwing their twist on it. So this mostly means splashing millions of bunnies everywhere... do I sound bitter? Nah, I love it, but hate it. Just like all those people who think they can become Japanese by pretending they are. Ooops.

I'd drop this link cause it reminds me sooo much of the girl you sent me earlier (Audrey I think..maybe?) But the style is impeccable to her style...I kind of want to say that it seems kind of copycat-ish? Iunno, I haven't looked at it in depth, but I wanted to show you :P
