Click on image to zoom inI love this print which I bought recently at the lovely Analogue books in the Grassmarket.
From a distance (and probably to you in this blog) it looks like one of the well known works by Japanese artist Hokusai.
This version by an artist called Kozyndan, on close inspection puts a twist on Hokusai's version. The white on the crest of the tsunami waves is made up of the outline shape of hundreds of white bunny's. I think there are four in the series 'seasons' by the artist which have the bunnies subtly appearing as cherry blossom in the spring, autumn leaves in the winter etc.
It's my new favourite print but there's lots of other interesting work and books in analogue worth a look at.
