Yusaku Kamekura

As you can probably tell by the last two posts, I am having a little Japanese blogging spree. These are some fine examples of classic Japanese graphic design, by Yusaku Kamekura.

Kanji animals

These remind me of a transforming Digimon toy I had years ago, well afterall,
that was Japanese as well. I assume the kanji writing says the word

for each animal that it turns into.

Paul Blow

Found this lovely illustrator whose style is similar to Daniel Stolle, whom I like very much. This is Paul Blow, as featured on It's Nice That.

Koyaanisqatsi

I'm possibly going back to uni at 5.30 to watch some more of this sort of strangely mesmerising video series. We watched an hour or so of this before in a HACCS lecture, which received mixed opinions. Some people didn't see the point in watching it, or what it was about. But I found it quite interesting and especially with the music, it is incredibly mesmerising.

One day signs

Quite striking, from here.
