We are thrilled to unveil a video of the making of “Cool Runnings” by Kansuke Akaike which is now available on our site. The Japanese artist created these delightful paintings using handmade intricate stencils and an airbrush with acrylic paint. 

The process used by an artist is always interesting, and in this case the stencilling process in particular is highly captivating for viewers who will be intrigued by this behind the scenes clip.
