We’ve featured the work of the oh so creative Tatsuya Tanaka before and we’re happy to share more of his art with you in a time when we could all use a little cheer. Tatsuya is a master at taking your everyday objects and creating a whimsical miniature scene that we just can’t get over. Be it surgical masks that we all now know too well, the recently coveted roll of toilet paper or a hairbrush, an object that may be currently relegated to the bottom of your drawer, Tanaka creatively gives these objects a whole new life. His work is then placed into a “miniature calendar” collection depicting diorama style figures. Check out some of our recent favorites below and be sure to view the original post by our lovely contributor, Gisele Muller, here.
