  • I’ve loved Hokusai’s work since I fell in love with the calming and yet terrifying beauty and detail of the great wave of Kanagawa at a university poster sale. This idea came to me after finally having to throw that print out from the wear and tear of the years;some time after I first made the ultros perler, but before I finished the rest.

    I have a similar hokusai (edit: looking it up the painting I’m thinking of is a Hiroshige) meets legend of Zelda idea I’ve prototyped but it’s still missing something I’ve yet to figure out. Hopefully I’ll figure out out now that I can stop thinking about this one being incomplete 😅





  • thanks for the input! It’s definitely more to go on. My access to a physical supply store might be a bit limited, but I’ll google up where my closest might be and also take a look at Grainger online. The fact that their suggestion was a class 0 is already a pretty positive point in the right direction.

    Also - I know what you mean about amazon - there are a massive load of off brands with photoshopped “usage” photos out there. I think I found a single legit industrial supply seller (Magid), and from there just ended up on their own site looking at what all the options were. That was the point where I backed off and thought I’d ask others cause it’s a lot of info to uptake

    Really, I wouldn’t even go this far if I had only needed to open it and dust (even when doing that I was antsy just being walked past unannounced). Problem is upon dusting I found a fallen yoke spacer and that’s definitely going to need me to get in there hands on and possibly be creative. At this point I don’t even know if I can salvage any of the existing adhesives, so it’ll probably be opened and closed a few times as I figure out what my game plan is going to be. Either way I’m going to have to get much more friendly with the yoke than I wanted to, and even with know how to discharge the anode, I’m definitely not comfortable getting my fingers that close without some kind of protection from an unintentional bump.
