Postcrossing card from China, June 2017
Postcrossing card from Russia, June 2017
Artist: Mori Raito
Conveniently, my two most recently received post crossing cards happen to fit this week's theme - each in its own way...
I've not been able to find any details about the artist Mori Raito, but more images can be found by googling the name.
Postcards for the Weekend 44: City View (night time)
This week's linky seems not to be up yet, but I'm posting this anyway;
Saturday afternoon European time...
These are both extraordinary. And the Russian one is so magical and whimsical. I am wondering if the scene is from a book. Maybe children's or fantasy. I like the China one, too. Two completely beautiful, yet different postcards.
ReplyDeleteThere's no info on the card to say whether it belongs in a context.
DeleteI am wondering how he made the little houses look like real light is coming from the windows..
ReplyDeleteThe artist is indeed making clever use of contrasts.
DeleteThe blue whales in the second postcard fascinate me but the first card is really very clever.
ReplyDeleteThose whales must be just about as rare as flying pigs, don't you think, Graham? ;)
DeleteFrom a photographer's perspective, I am fascinated by the thought of how the first picture(s) was taken!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of that when I got it, Violet - but now I do! Surely it must be taken from inside a car?
DeleteIndeed I also find it convenient when I get fresh postcards that fit the upcoming theme(s) for the linky. Thanks so much for sharing your cards!
