Shinrashinge, Creator of “Paper Cup Manga”
View this post on Instagram
A fan of animation and manga, Japanese artist Shinrashige, born in 1993, has invented ‘paper cup manga’. He puts characters from his favourite anime series at the heart of his creations, drawing them on an unusual medium and making them experience stories of his own invention, and films the whole process. By making his sketches interact with everyday items and adding video, he creates a means of expression that belongs to him alone. Silence please, filming in progress.
The artist’s creations can be viewed on his Instagram account.
