The Catbusby *paperfetish

Artisan Crafts / Folding & Papercraft

The Catbus from the anime My Neighbor Totoro. Done for a friend as a gift for his wife for Christmas. The source image is from the back of the back of the VHS case. I had never heard of Totoro until then and only watched the movie when this piece was done. A very cute story.

This piece is made from mostly Canson papers and some hand made papers. It measures 13" x 8".

The reflection of my camera in the center of the shot was unavoidable as the piece is framed and I couldn't remove the glass from the frame.

The Catbus and My Neighbor Totoro belong to Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli/Disney.

The Catbus by *paperfetish

Fan Art gets a pretty constant stream of Digital submissions, so it's exciting and refreshing to see something in such an uncommon choice of media - collage! The artist refers to his style as 'paper sculpture' and it certainly is that, with uncommon depth and richness. Check out the rest of his gallery; he covers other anime and cartoons in this style too. ( Suggested by `cocinando-colores and Featured by `animator )
