like the guy that always sits next to me on an otherwise empty bus,
but that's another story, here is one about dedicated
fan Mamakiteru, She likes recreating
the characters of Japanese horror manga artist Junji Ito in real life,
Mamakiteru’s
Twitter bio reads “I want to live in the world of Junji Ito”, and since living
in the artist’s manga is impossible, she decided to do the next best thing –
bring Ito’s characters into the real world, using face paint and a bit of
digital editing,
most of her work involves expertly applying makeup to turn
herself into almost perfect renditions of Junji Ito manga characters, with
digital editing only being used to recreate surreal images which could not
otherwise exist in our world. She’s been at it for four years now, and has
amassed quite a following on social media,
Her cosplay of Tomie,
an attractive girl with a mole under her left eye who has the power to
regenerate after being killed and is able to make any man fall in love with her
and commit violent acts, is particularly impressive, she
is apparently not a professional makeup artist. She just started painting her
own face as a tribute to Junji Ito, and even told Inverse to credit her
photos to the famous manga artist, who she referred to as “teacher” all photographs Mamakiteru/Twitter, I wonder what world the guy on the bus next to me is in? and why is it when traveling without Diana I always get the nutter on the bus sitting next to me?
