New Tokyo Ondo(2012)

For this nonsensical animation, 30 pictures per second were produced with only a pencil tool. A man stretches out his arm and grasps the night view of a distant city. He and a female companion rush down the length of his arm toward the city lights. The work is defined by a speedy style and comical pictures that express the sense of omnipotence derived from coming into a large sum of money and the folly of letting happiness slip through your hands.
