Naoshi

The ceiling boy’s love; The bad habit of a guy who lives in Post — both limited edition prints

Naoshi is an artist from Japan, who uses colored sand to “paint” her pictures. She sells prints and postcards of her work in her shop, and has done a lot of exhibitions around the world.

The method, called Sunae, is a fine art of sand painting, which, according to the little tutorial on her portfolio is basically drawing a picture, cutting some bits out and carefully blowing sand on it (she makes it sound so easy!)

And if you’d like to know more, you can read a little interview with the artist here.
