Except picking up rolls of sushi, there is not much I can do with chopsticks (also called “hashi” or “otemoto” in Japanese) Thanks to the sticks tapering to a finely pointed end, Makoto Endo has invented a technique to use them has an utensil for painting. He is a graphic designer, illustrator now based in New York and motorcycles being his passion, they became his subjects for chopsticks painting. If you send a photo to Endo at makotoendo1234@gmail.com, I’ll paint it for you, always with black ink on a 53″X70-80″ paper or canvas. Price for his renderings range from $1500 to $2000 depending of the complexity of lines of your motorcycle. After the jump see a video, unfortunately shot with a very shaky camera, showing him at work creating his art, undisturbed by people walking around him…

Interesting way to “paint” that I didn’t know.
Very cool

I want to see where he starts not just where he spatters paint around at the end.
Not that I could do any better…just saying lets see the beginning for 1500-2000.
