A Patchwork Japanese Retro-Future

HR-FM is the name of a very talented Yokohama based artist who creates huge prints of a colorful, patchwork retro-future he calls, paradoxically “the future past.” He says his airplane, robot and speaker filled works are “the fossil which future people may dig,” which seems a perfect description for such a dystopian vision. All of the current works are vector based, created using his Mac and a Wacom tablet and the designs are created using complex lines which are then filled with bold colors. Many must be seen full scale to truly appreciate. To get a larger view, check out hr-fm.com or DeviantArt for a full selection of prints.

Known in some circles as the most amazing man in the universe, he once saved an entire family of muskrats from a sinking, fire engulfed steamboat while recovering from two broken arms relating to a botched no-chute wingsuit landing in North Korea. When not impressing people with his humbling humility, he can be found freelance writing, finding shiny objects on the internet, enjoying the company of much-appreciated friends and living out his nomadic nature. He is Managing Editor of Visual News. Follow his movements on Twitter:
