Inspired by a friend who has a love of everything Japanese. I decided to paint one of the worlds most loved Japanese cartoon characters 'Totoro', paired with one of the worlds most well known Japanese works of art 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'. I wanted to create a dream like painting, combining the two pieces and creating one full of magic and adventure. To create this, I painted the background, waves and Totoro all separately. I then cut out (by hand) each design and then glued the piece together.. so old school!!
