Yet again another japanese inspired piece, however this one is styled very different from the former ukiyo-e paintings I've been doing. I wanted to move away from the simple solid colours and defining outlines of the ukyo-e pieces to a more surrealist style, if only for a few paintings. As you can see this piece required a lot of blending and amalgamations of well, green, yellow and shit like that. And so you know, this was taken from the european box art for the critically acclaimed ps2 game ICO. If you've ever seen the north american box art, well you'll know why i didn't choose to paint that, and probably why the game just didn't sell over here. e-z.
