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"
