These are some pages from my sketchbook where I tried out re-purposing Hokusai's wave, much like all the merchandise I'd been seeing. At first I was looking at using the tools for woodblock printing and how it could be applied to that, then I thought about how they use it on mugs and keyrings, sort of like collectables of Japanese culture. I wanted to do this because I thought it would be good for me to see what it's like to repurpose, and interesting to see how it would work on different products. There really is a lot of ways you can do this and make it work.
