Video games redesigned as traditional Japanese woodblock prints!
I came across this series a few weeks ago and I just noticed that I had
not shared it with everyone. So I am fixing that now! Artist Jed Henry
has been taking classic video game characters from various Nintendo franchises and redesigning them in
the traditional Japanese woodblock print style, known as Ukiyo-e. These
prints brilliantly breath some new life into characters that we know
and love. Henry as also posted a few videos on his Facebook page
that shows these sketches actually being made into real woodblock
prints! According to the Facebook page the prints will be available for purchase in August. Enjoy!
