Some months back, someone on Reddit posted about an amazing vintage poster they’d found at a thrift shop of a woman in a traditional woodblock-print style holding a fan made of colour swatches. The only info on it was the name of a printing company, and she was dubbed the Pantone Geisha<\/a>. And of course, as someone with a graphic design background and a borderline-unhealthy special interest in Japanese art, I fell completely in love.<\/p>\n

I spent eons trying to track down the poster,\u00a0 or find some sort of accreditation other than the facility where it was printed, so I could buy a copy but to no avail.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I gave in, decided to use that damn graphic design background, and make my own take on her and her delightful palette fan. With the support and encouragement of my friends, I worked on pushing the “arts” aspect even further by turning her mimikaki kanzashi into paintbrushes, making her kimono have a blueprint inspiration, and possibly the easiest to miss but my favourite detail, turning a fibonacci circle into another hair ornament. A bit of a watercolour splash in the background, and the portrait was done!<\/p>\n

Since this is inspired by extant, unaccredited art, I don’t feel comfortable selling prints, but if you would like to print a copy of your own, you can get a high-resolution copy right here<\/a>. And if you do, you can always consider supporting me in other ways<\/a>, if you’d like.<\/p>\n
