This hauntingly beautiful fan-made poster by artist Louis Picard pays homage to Satoshi Kon’s 1997 psychological thriller, Perfect Blue. The artwork depicts the protagonist, Mima Kirigoe, in a moment of profound vulnerability, her face buried in her hands as she is literally consumed by a dense cluster of blue lilies. Small, vibrant fish with red accents swim through the dark, oceanic space surrounding her, some even darting between the petals that mask her identity. The deep navy background and the cool blue tones of the flowers and Mima’s skin create a somber, submerged atmosphere, reflecting the film's themes of fractured reality and the loss of self. At the top, the film's title is rendered in a thin, elegant red font, providing a sharp contrast to the otherwise monochromatic blue composition.

On this uchikake wedding robe, the phoenix's elaborate tail feathers demonstrate the masterful yuzen painter's ability to capture both the creature's supernatural power and ethereal beauty, while peacock-eye motifs add layers of symbolic meaning related to wisdom and protection. 1930s, Japan

This reminds me of the Scholastic book fair in Grade Six when I purchased a split biography on Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer in paperback.
