Dissection Beauties, Ball Girls and Bottled Girl
The Last & Greatest Acrobatics is just one of Japanese Mizna Wada's illustration series' that you can find on her web site - Mizna Lens. At first I didn't think that her style was anything I'd like but I surrendered to her personal mix of disturbed cuteness and morbid humour. She tops it all of by executing her works with an impressive accuracy.

No, this is not my own collection. Well, that is I have collected them, from the internet. I found them in October last year and I published them here and in Musselsoppans Vänner at the time. I just think they are extraordinarily beautiful and I was sad to see that the original link to them were dead. There were many more there but I'm glad I saved this many. Enjoy.

Thanks to Mr Feckenbrenner!
Do the Japanese and the Finns have anything in common? Well, to a non-Finn and non-Japanese their respective languages might sound sort of similar or at least equally strange and difficult. What more? Both nationalities have a reputation of being reserved* and shy. There are also similarities in some of the design styles of these countries. With Nokia developing into a giant of a company both countries now rely heavily on hi-tech industry. You can probably find more things they have in common (pls comment!).
Read about Marutei Tsurunen, an ex-Finn who was born Martti Turunen. 38 years ago he went to Japan as a Lutheran missionary and now he is still there but with an other mission...
* Swedes also has that reputation but the Finns and the Japanese take it to another level.
Thanks to Mr Feckenbrenner
