In comparing my final work design it ideas from my two inspiration artist, How did I manage to see both artist work and combining they style in my own work. In unit 3 week two I’ chosen 2 artist from week 1 research week, I chosen Niki Yang who is a storyboard writer and voice actor from a cartoon series called The Adventure time and Katsushika Hokusai who is a Japanese traditional painter and print maker during an Edo period. So In my final design work I’ve used Hokusai Japanese traditional style to combined with a new cartoon character style and scene. So in Niki Yang cartoon it is about two main character going out for adventure and face many problem and try overcome it, on the other hand Hokusai work are quite old and tradition. He paint mostly paint view or a traditional Japanese demon. So I started to think how can I combined two style of both artist into my own work. I try to make a cartoon scene that have two main character go out for adventure to saved their friend but they have face a problem which is a Japanese tradition demon that capture there friend.
So during I do this work I think what is the actual context behind this artwork. I have Chosen Niki Yang work is The Adventure time and Hokusai work which is The Great Wave.
So after read through some website I found that I can use this context to connect both of the work together. So during Hokusai paint this picture is during an Edo period, During Edo period Japanese people started to trade their goods with other country and they uses their painting artwork paper to wraps the good to send it oversea. When other country have received their goods they have noticed that the wrapping paper is an beautiful Japanese traditional painting, They started to take those wrapping paper to hang it on the wall as a beautiful artwork. After that Japanese artwork has become more well-known from that point, It is like the adventure of the Japanese traditional artwork around the world. So it can be link up with The adventure time by it context that Adventure time also has a plot of two characters going out for adventure.
