I found this very cool piece in a Japanese Street Art Group.
I love the shading in this, its amazing what artists can achieve!
The thing that caught my eye first was actually that black ribbon!

Gorgeous detail in this geisha tattoo of Husar.us.
VERY impressive shading on the face, and the colours are just superb.
just the right amount of kanzashi, and i love how the hair is over the face like that. so delicate for a tattoo!!

Koi T-shirt

Today I am featuring a beautiful tee by Red Bubble member, Angelique Price

This Koi was done in Sharpies on Bristol paper, and is absolutely stunning!

I really love the style of the waves, and every detail has been taken care of. The colours work so well together.

Check out this other tee from Angelique, a wonderful geisha which was originally a tattoo design.

Wakuda's work is so AMAZING, this is so inspirational for me, and I hope for you too. There is not a foot wrong in this amazing geisha - i urge you to check out more of his work!

Detail of a vintage E-hon

Detail of a vintage E-hon, originally uploaded by P F C.

Printed around the 1850's.
Bought at a market in Ueno. Each page is very thin & the details extraordinary, considering everything you see printed had to be 'carved' in reverse first. (words by P F C)
