“This artist”. Great job to the person who created the original meme on giving credit. Otherwise a beautiful piece.
Right? Artist is Japanese (might I be so bold as to say that was obvious), goes by Lito, and the article here is about his work.
I don't see a link in your comment for some reason. I can just search for the name online so thank you for providing it. Just wanted to let you know. ;)
Thanks for finding it!
These are gorgeous, thank you!
Well, the bad news is this is photoshopped anyway, not cut-out.
Why do you say this so authoritatively when you didn't actually know or look into it at all?
AI witch-hunting crowd appears in 3....2...1..
Not sure I would call AI, but it is strikingly easy to mask out the leaf with a design and leave a blue sky behind with Photoshop or similar. Especially compared to the absurd amount of diligent work required to cut a real leaf.
Now, the creation of the cute design could be a skilled vector artist or AI, but to me it doesn't scream AI.
Middle option: the design was made digitally (by "hand" or AI), and then they used a laser cutter to cut the leaf.
The lines of the drawing definitely feel a bit too perfect for it to be fully manual, they scream "vector" to me.
Edit: I see now it was the surprise third option, they're Japanese and it's meticulously hand crafted (probably also folded over a thousand times).
cutting edge
Haha nice one
That's amazing but I was immediately wondering why the big bunny was robbing the smaller ones
Well, that's ridiculously awesome.
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground
Reminds me of the 1800s silhouette art that was in vogue for a bit. Very cool!
Gotta be using a Ginzu brand knife or some shit. And kudos on the finger nail!
