  • Nostalgia - These 10 Japanese Woodblock Paintings Are Based Of Popular Video Games

    The guys behind Ukiyo-e Heroes, Jed Henry and Dave Bull create images of your favourite video game characters in the style of Ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese woodblock printing process.

    For the past hundred of years, Japanese woodblock printmakers worked in a thriving popular art scene. Their work was based of heroes, villains and monsters, from every genre. That is the beauty of Ukiyo.

    Inventive and fast-paced, the Ukiyo culture was the movement of its day. Still to this day that tradition has continued in modern day Japan. View more work of Jed and Dave on their facebook page.
