Sapporo’s seasonal Snow Festival has arrived yet again, boasting an impressive amount of finely crafted snow sculptures much like years previous – and with Snow Miku’s new design being the subject of numerous works in particular, along with an abundance of other anime inspired pieces.
Mangaka and artist Rokudenashiko (“rokudenashi” means “ne’er-do-well”) has lately been earning much acclaim (or attention at any rate) for her “Georaman” and other vaginally inspired sculptures, having opted for the direct approach in reproducing her own intimate parts in her work.
In yet another find by fans, this image presents a scene from the latest episode of Clannad After Story alongside its 3D counterpart, much like the earlier comparison of Tomoya and Nagisa‘s real life house.
“My Lonesome Cowboy”, a figure created by Japanese pop artist 村上隆 / Takashi Murakami, was auctioned off at $15 million in a New York auction, vastly exceeding the expected price of $3-4 million.
The 254cm high figure (including his ejaculation, otherwise roughly life size), which might thus also be called a statue, depicts a naked man engaged in an act of fantastic onanism, in the style of a shonen manga. It was created using steel, acrylic and fiberglass in 1998.
According to Sotheby’s, the highest price previously fetched by Murakami’s work was “Panda”, at a positively meager $3 million, so this represents something of a triumph for him. The identity of the buyer will likely remain a closely guarded secret for reasons we can only guess at.
More detail of this outstanding artwork is below, as well as another fine work along the same lines. See here for an interview with the great artist explaining the work. Here is an English language report on the auction.
umm... the fact he (or she) can afford to pay that much for such statue means he's got lots and lots of disposable money. Im sure that besides buying that statue for $15M, he still enjoys... More
