Wow. I just discovered the Twitter feed of the Miniature World Tatsuya Tanaka.
The Kagoshima-based art director posts daily images of his “miniature calendar,” featuring HO-scale model train figurines with real world objects like cookies, cups, staples and all sorts of fruits and veg.
“Everyone must have had similar thoughts at least once,” Tanaka writes on his website. “Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats.”
What a wonderful imaginary world for kids to be inspired by and spark their imaginations.
And here is his Miniature Calendar website with all of the incredible images. I warn you, you won’t be able to pull yourself away.
