These are photos from Chino Otsuka from her series “Imagine Finding Me” they are of Chino as a little girl and her as an adult in the same picture like the one above.
“Otsuka explains of the both the nostalgic and unfamiliar territory probed within the set. the portraits taken of the artist as a youngster — shyly posing in front of her family home, and whimsically enjoying a baguette on a trip to paris — united with the mature and developed woman she presently is, invite the viewer to imagine what might have been, and provoke a poignant awareness of the brevity of time.” – Via Design Boom

ABOUT JOSH LANE’S HERO-GLYPHICS SEIRES:
” Like most of the work I do, this series was self initiated. I started them in late august last year I have always had an affinity for ancient egyptian art and hieroglyphics – the ancient egyptians developed an elegant way to communicate their stories using minimalistic imagery and symbols. as a graphic designer and illustrator I try to do this same thing today.
I wanted to pay tribute to this style by adding a modern twist of the things I love – which tend to be on the geeky side. when I started the project I knew I wanted to mimic the same kind of poses that early egyptians had established.
I enjoyed placing these modern characters into the poses that fit the character best. for example, I felt like captain kirk should be the one sitting on the ‘throne’ as if it were his captains chair and that in the x-men piece I would have wolverine kneeling before the representation of the most powerful mutant entity, the phoenix.
I soon found myself telling stories with background details and symbols. in the end I wanted to create a series that people could instantly relate to and enjoy on a couple different levels: the pop culture and the art history.” – Josh Lane

ABOUT ORION PAX AND HIS GHOSTBUSTERS LEGO CREATION:
“Two months of endless hours watching Ghostbusters 1 & 2 + the real Ghostbusters
Animated show i can truly say i know a lot about the building at North Moore Street, New York City.
The movie set was in Los Angeles and is seen in plenty of other movies while the outside of the building is in NY.
Planning on the interior was a bit confusing in the beginning, because of the fact
that in the movies you always see only the garage and first floor.
When i played the GHOSTBUSTERS game there are only two floors two,
while on the outside the way the windows are you know there is the garage and
two floors above.
While watching the animated show i found out more about interior setups that
would work with the model.So Egon´s lab is one of the agreements i had to make.
The attetion to detail with some of the features was very important to me
and i spend hours on planning through over and over again.
The overall weight is about 15 kg and it took me around 2 months building.
By far my most detailed building with full interior.” – Orion Pax
