Tabaimo is a Japanese animator/artist. Her art is full animation done by her own illustrations. Everything is made from scratch and out from her own mind. She shows truth beneath her work which will include some disturbing things that can represent Japanese society. Her animations take up a whole room which in each wall of the room is like a comic book panel.

My favorite piece by Tabaimo is her very first work which is "Japanese kitchen" (image above). This work told most of the stories that went on in the Japanese society. As beautiful as this work looks, with the different colors, the story behind it is very dark. It explains the unemployment that people go through. You see a woman in her kitchen cooking, and she goes in her refrigerator and finds a tiny man on his desk working. She then takes this man and lays him on the cutting board and proceeds to cut his head. This is a "visual pun" to the Japanese, "kubi nu naru" which means "to become a neck" and that would lead to the meaning someone losing their job.  That kind of style will always catch my eye. The art style of making something dark look very innocent and beautiful.

None of her work really disappointed me. Everything she does is quite eye catching and meaningful. She can take the smallest problems and make them into big things for her art works. What makes this big art is the way she uses animation for it. As you can see, most of the art  you see are still. What makes her super different is the way makes her art come to life. And these animations aren't really nonsense, they have deep meanings and the way she tells them is very intriguing.

She communicates with the viewers by giving them entertainment in the way she uses her art. Once again, with animation and beautiful colors. She is trying to tell the viewers that the world isn't really a beautiful place as people think. The world also has extreme flaws and i believe she hopes that people realize things like major problems going on in society but not only in Japan.

Her work is really eye catching. To the amazing colors to the dark meaning behind them using some disturbing images. Her work is something unique and it doesn't really remind me of anything.  It's something i would like to do when it comes to my drawings. Dark and beautiful with a little bit of strangeness.
