HELLO SPRING, KAWAII DREAM (Hello Kitty-inspired art)

Created as an ode to the stunning Hoshinoya Onsen, Matsuo Bashu's spring haiku poetry and the 2006 theatrical version of SAKURAN, "Hello Spring, Kawaii Dream" (originally titled "Hello Onsen, Kitty Garden", 2015) is another well-loved Hello Kitty-inspired artwork by Sean Danconia, created as a semi-sequel to "Memoirs of a Kitty". The original Mixed-Media canvas painting (pictured here) was created in a combination of acrylic paint, photography, illustration, graphic design, archival ink, etc. It had its premiere at Blooming Art Gallery, situated in Japanese Village Plaza.

(above and below) The Mixed-Media Original of Hello Onsen, Kitty Garden (2015) by Sean Danconia. Photographed at the Japanese Garden (Tokyo Villa) in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles.

The art features a Hello Kitty-inspired Maiko (geisha-in-training) with Pocky x Sakura-infused Oiran Hair ornaments + Geta, accompanied by a Japanified gathering of Daruma, Kokeshi, and various gotochi-kitty-ish tomodachi (including nods to Japan's live-action monster flicks), with some SupaPop friends (like Jozilla and SupaPup) in the background, playing in our own (ukiyo-e) great wave of Kanagawa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgdNUUMiMP8 Original Trailer for Sakuran with a fantastic score by Shiina Ringo Some of the inspirations for the art come from Mika Ninagawa's film—Sakuran—and the original manga by Moyoco Anno, on which it's based.

Sean first saw an image of Sakuran (above) on a research trip to Tokyo in 2008.

The new "Kawaii-Cut" version of the art, now titled "Hello Spring, Kawaii Dream" features a beautiful Haiku by Matsuo Basho located at the bottom right hand corner along with honorable mention of the onsen and resort in Kyoto which inspired the piece. There are other subtle improvements but nothing that changes the original structure, coloration and energy of the first edition, which used various line thicknesses, photographic perspective and pastel hues in order to create a vintage 60's Show-era feel to the art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_saO7cbpxzs Please enjoy this short feature on the stunning Hoshinoya Onsen Read the full article

About Anushka: Since 1974, Anushka has been a pioneer in the beauty industry. A brand now synonymous with whole-body beauty, fashion and wellness began as a small yet lavish spa on New York’s Upper East Side named “The Anushka Petit Salon.” Now, nearly 45 years later, her visionary approach of whole body & mind beauty that began in the ’70’s, endures at Anushka’s 12,000 square foot beauty Mecca—the home to her world renowned glamor Empire—marked by legendary service, elegance, expertise with an unparalleled eye for top-level aesthetics in all things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB1faTuEhH0&t=14s After moving the flagship to the Palm Beaches, Anushka added more verticals including the hair salon, medical centre and thriving boutique retail segment featuring an eclectic mix of Art and Fashion. The epitome of elegance, Anushka herself continues to set the tone for the soothing atmosphere at the spa and boutique while engaging her clients, in addition to hosting a bevy of creative talents from around the world. Here's some great tour info for the Palm Beach area from one of my favorite filmmakers: TampaAerialMedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eTLTT7h3aU Read the full article
