a few weeks ago I participated together with about 200 artists worldwide with artwork in an auction initiated by some pixar artists to save a forest near tokyo, hayao miyazaki’s TOTORO forest. not that I care too much about that particular forest, forests in indonesia being used for japanese chopsticks and newspaper or the systematically destroyed amazon jungle are in greater danger. hopefully there will be initiatives as well to save some of our oxygen resources, the endangered forests worldwide, the coral reefs. anyway, I participated for a different reason – TOTORO is one of my favorite films and I am an admirer of miyazaki’s work.
my name is hans bacher, – I work as production designer in the animation film industry. for the last 40 years I lived and worked in duesseldorf, london, paris, los angeles, manila and tokyo. now I am professor for film-design at the nanyang techn. university in singapore.
beautiful work, its got a delicate feel to it and the colors really jump out.
very very inspiring.great .
How did you do this? It’s simply beautiful. Reminds me of the images that came with the Pikmin games. May I ask for the brushes you used?
