Shiro Kasamatsu (1898 - 1991) Japanese Woodblock Print Bird Cage, 1957
All images and text from here
Above, detail
Shiro Kasamatsu - Born in Tokyo, Shiro began studying art at a young age with the painter Kaburagi Kiyokata. He completed his first woodblock designs for Watanabe Shozaburo in 1919 after the publisher saw his paintings on exhibit. Shiro designed shin-hanga prints for Watanabe for many years, becoming well known for his romantic landscapes of famous landmarks and his scenes of traditional Japanese life. From 1952 to 1960, he created more than one hundred woodblock designs for the Kyoto publisher Unsodo. He also experimented with sosaku hanga or creative prints starting in the late 1950s, carving and printing his own designs. Shiro is regarded as one of the top shin-hanga woodblock print artists in Japan.

I really like these modern ukiyo-e/modern 'horror' mash up prints, the older wood blocks are also great fun...

If you like this they've have Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie in the same series, plus another Kiss print.... the site is not the easiest to navigate tho
Really beautiful photo!
Some years ago, I saw a neat photo collage centered around power lines by some artist
Was it something like this?
I posted his work to collage sometime ago
I don't normally comment on news posts, but in this instance, FUCK CANCER
Fuck cancer for stealing my brother from me, and for taking half my bf's lung
I seriously hopes this works for everyone out there living with this disease, and for their families, friends, the people who love them....
.....and also for everyone who has died too soon and missed their chance for survival. Their donation of tissue samples and furthering the cancer research that ultimately wouldn't help them, but will help the poor bastards that are diagnosed today and in the future...It is bitter sweet
Fuck cancer
Rip out the horrible interior, extend, it could look really nice!
In it's current state though, it's just bizarre. It's like an 'upmarket' house in the countryside for sex parties.... Maybe the weird hand wash basin in the kitchen is for rinsing your dick in?
I discovered The CryptoNaturalist over at the other place, and ending up buying 'Field Guide to the Haunted Forest' and 'Love Notes from the Hollow Tree' by Jarod K. Anderson....
Which is unusual for me as I detest poetry. I think it's a pile of long-winded, navel gazing wank...Except for haiku, (because they're short and sweet, and condense things down to their essence, which I like).
I like The CryptoNaturalist though, probably because they write about nature in a weird, beautiful and wonderous way. I want to use the word 'magical' to describe it, but am reluctant, for reasons
Also, thanks to this post I just found out there's a couple of other books available which I'm going to buy tonight ๐
That lady (the pensioner, not Thatcher) deserves either a rise in her state pension and/or a New Year honour, perhaps a Baroness....?
Going back to the pagan winter festival of Yule!
When people would decorate their dwellings with evergreens like holly, ivy, pine branches and mistletoe....and how the traditions of old have been absorbed into 'modern' day Christmas
Prompt-
3 pagan winter creatures, one made out of mistletoe, another made out of holly and ivy, and another made out of pine branches and pine needles, sat around a burning yule log, photo realistic style, ratio 16.9
(I did ask for 3 creatures and ended up with an extra one)
Did anyone else see the words 'David Attenborough....' and feel their heart sink a bit, thinking he'd died?
Then I cheered up, life in the old dog yet, bless him
