Yumiko Matsui, the papercraft artist extraordinaire who created the Neatobot papercraft, has new series of artwork inspired by New York City. My favorite is the Coney Island papercraft, which involves a fantastically intricate roller coaster:

Neatoramabot Papercraft by Yumiko Matsui

Posted by Alex in Art, Neatorama Exclusives, Pictures on September 25, 2009 at 3:23 pm

I’m a big fan of papercraft artist Yumiko Matsui (featured before on Neatorama here) – so it was a pleasant surprise to hear from her about this Neatoramabot papercraft sculpture. Ain’t he cute?

If you haven’t seen Yumiko’s artwork before, you owe it to yourself to check it out: she sculpts fantastic and colorful dioramas as well as miniature characters out of paper. The level of details is simply superb (for example, in her Summer Festival series, check out the Japanese pancake stand)

Best of all, I hear she’s coming to the United States! Here’s Yumiko’s online art gallery: Link

Papercraft Diorama by Yumiko Matsui

Posted by Alex in Art on September 17, 2008 at 1:30 pm

Yumiko Matsui is a Japanese artist specializing in fantastic dioramas made out of paper. This one is of the Dotonbori Street in Osaka:

Dotonbori is one of Osaka’s main shopping areas and entertainment districts, and is also known as a food destination. It is a popular tourist destination. It is famous for big cheesy neon signs on the street. Those signs become part of the culture of Osaka. Dotonbori street gets busier at night because of the lights.

Check out the gallery here: LinkThanks Yumiko!
