HELLO SPRING, KAWAII DREAM by Sean DanconiaCreated 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 Kitty-inspired artwork by Sean Danconia, created as a semi-sequel to “Memoirs Of A Kitty“. (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc)
The original Mixed-Media canvas painting (visuals pictured) was created in a combination of acrylic paint, photography, illustration, graphic design, archival ink, etc. It had its premiere at Blooming Art Gallery, located at the iconic Japanese Village Plaza in Little Tokyo.
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. The sides of the art are adorned with Kitty-rific Hanafuda (flower cards), based on the original styles created by Nintendo in the late 1800’s (used by the Yakuza for their “Game Of Chance” competitions). ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
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.
