Chikara Matsumoto at Postalco Shop
We were inspired by Chikara’s animations from the moment we saw them. Beautiful effects result from his hand-drawing each frame on recycled paper backlit on a lightbox. These animations transport the viewer to alternate worlds.
Your pen drawing on a newsprint sheet has the sound of a cello. A handmade cello that is a little out of tune. When it starts to jump around, like a cartoon, you can't help but be carried along.
Oh, here comes Chikara, around the corner and straight ahead like an angel falling from somewhere. - Makoto Saeki
