ssick lab - Neo-Kyoto Odyssey

GICLEE PRINT ON PREMIUM MUSEUM-QUALITY PAPER, A3, 29.7 x 42 cm, 300 g/m², LIMITED EDITION OF ONLY 5 COPIES.

This dynamic and vivid art print in ukiyo-e and anime style depicts an iconic Mario running at full speed, crashing head-on toward the viewer. The setting is a stunning fusion of traditional Kyoto and a futuristic cyberpunk metropolis.

In the center, Mario is surrounded by futuristic skyscrapers adorned with neon signs in Japanese, blending with ancient pagodas. The background is dominated by a sunset sun and a purple sky, pierced by a flying car and cherry blossoms. The scene is rich in details, including cars at the bottom, passersby in traditional clothing, and a vibrant, frenetic atmosphere that fuses past and future.

Production method: Development of a preliminary visual architecture through AI generative models to define composition, tonal values, and color schemes, followed by a meticulous manual digital painting intervention aimed at perfecting anatomy, integrating customized textures, and imprinting the artist’s distinctive stylistic signature.
