great waves of kanagawa, batman!

Not sure if even those "Nice Boots" will save you from the mountains of water in those tsunami images! (Odd that this gets posted a day or so after the tsunami warning here in Northern Cal.)
How did Panel 3 come to so accurately reflect Panel 1????
FogBaron at June 16, 2005 8:54 AM
Am I the only one that doesn't believe that panels #1 and #3 came about the similar wave crests accidentally?
Ann at June 16, 2005 8:56 AM
Hey, after the Great Betty Boop Incident, I believe that ANYTHING is possible.
jima at June 16, 2005 9:20 AM
I'm wondering the same thing that Fog and Ann are, but on reflection (no pun intended), the waves are VERY obvious, and I think they're from a fairly popular painting, so picking up the same image wouldn't be hard. I just googled images for "japanese waves" and the exact same picture popped up as the #1 match. It's a delightful coincidence, just like the "Great Betty Boop Incident"
Fantastic piece, though. It hasn't been mentioned, because of the waves, but the transition from 3 to 4 is GREAT, and I love what Miss Daze did with it
Nate at June 16, 2005 9:26 AM
Perhaps I'm wrong, but it appears that Ducancumming reflected a little of the top of his/her slice into the bottom, and Underwater found and completed the image.
Very nice work, everyone. I especially love all that creepy black and red stuff at the bottom. Talk about four tuned-in players!

Great minds think alike, Nate. I was typing my post as you were entering yours.
Shae at June 16, 2005 9:32 AM
Thanks, Nate & Shae! underwater gave me some mysterious little bits to play with. My piece looked rather bland by itself but all in all this came out to be a rather striking corpse.
Very nice work, fellow players.
Miss Daze at June 16, 2005 9:43 AM
Beautiful work everybody. Miss daze, love your panel. As far as the wave goes,...i had this strange feeling that i had seen it somewhere and started googling for whale hunting, old man and the sea and so on...until the wave came up.

Also, two corpses in a row with subway maps.
amyc at June 16, 2005 12:20 PM
Shae, yes I just found the Hokusai print and continued eighmie's piece, then reflected it about halfway through mine, and underwater has just continued it on upside down from mine. Mine starts and ends with the boots.
Miss Daze had to be clever and do something more original but in a similar theme ;-)

Lovely.
Although it's also a lesson about using such easily identified source material.
Andrew at June 16, 2005 1:20 PM
I had no clue whatsoever that water was involved. As you can see, I stuck to dry land. Very dry.
Miss Daze at June 16, 2005 1:21 PM
absobloodylutely brilliant
I love the bottom half of the corpse
those rich reds are the perfect complement to the waves above
wotty at June 16, 2005 3:29 PM
I have loved that wave print for so long. I have been trying to replicate it in a quilt form, but the organic nature of it frustates me, so I used it in a pseudo quilt with all of you. Thanks.
eighmie at June 16, 2005 5:26 PM
Love the title and love the way the 'ink outline' style seems to run throughout the entire piece. Very together.
I agree with wotty - the contrasting reds add balance to the whole. All in all, very nice work.
Dax at June 16, 2005 7:22 PM
3 people grabbing the same piece of artwork is in itself amazing.
Miss Daze, beautiful. is that original artwork? i ask, cuz i know you're quite the artist.
corpsing here has just stepped up to a new level.
the envelope has been way pushed.
*begins to sweat* ;-)
hasfurrychildren at June 16, 2005 7:56 PM
yeah I was wondering about 1&3 myself. Still a very good corpse I like it.
Bill Porter at June 16, 2005 10:29 PM
Wow! I like this one - amazing!
MetalEar at June 17, 2005 5:29 AM
Yep, furry, that be my crap...I mean art. Thanks for the nice words.
Miss Daze at June 17, 2005 6:58 AM
I'm going mad looking for a seam, one seam! A single person working alone could not have been as seamless as this. I have no idea who did what in this corpse, and while that's frustrating, it's also GREAT. How you guys did this is a mystery to me.
Patrick Beverley at June 18, 2005 7:05 AM
so how did the 1st and 2rd manage to use the same wave? thats just nuts!
jmarigold7 at June 18, 2005 11:04 AM
ok I read the comments and fell like an idiot now ....Ill be in my room...
jmarigold7 at June 18, 2005 11:07 AM
Wow...That's crazy how these people seemed to totally be on the same wavelength....strange! GREAT picture though!
