Awesome Vector Work *___* I like this birds which are changing colours when they're flying away from this red thing ;)
Artist Comment
I saw this wall where the waller vectored an artwork that's not usually vectored, so i thought i should try it sometime so i did this time with a takeshi okazaki artwork(such a lovely story >.>)
anyway the pattern on her dress? almost pushed me to self mutilation lol nah it was fun to pseudo-vector trace her in PS (for them sticklers of the technicalities) the only thing i didnt vector-trace was the waves, which is awesome btw
inspiration: japanese block prints
thanks to gid for telling me most block prints have borders, and other useful ideas, and for the title of the wall =P. to boing for telling me not to duplicate to death just one crane *shakes fist* and for other stuff too. amai and flyindreams for looking and giving suggestions
PS
dont mind the lil square stamp kinda sig...i didnt know actually what i was doing but it's katakana of
"ta" and "te" =P
EDIT
thanks to nona for the info about the waves
"It is a woodcut and was by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831, and the name of the woodcut is:"In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast at Kanagawa"

Your vector looks really good, great kimono patterns :)
I think I remember those waves coming from a quite popular block print. I've only been wondering where the branch should be coming from there seems to be no tree ... ^^'
Still a nice simplistic wall.

Chens works is one of the hardest to vector but it seems youve managed to simplify his wrok beautifully, I never knew one crane means death but anyway love th eblock japanese prints and moveing patternlike images of coolness. Traditional in a sense which i like! :P

Nice & clean vector you have made... love the simplicity of your work because is very elegant and stylish that makes your wall very appealing ;)
Also the pattern for the kimono is great, the subtle texturing is awesome and the color scheme is refreshing.
A really nice composition you have made *proposes for highlight*
