I continued making this paper cut artwork while I participated in the “Art Walk 2014” exhibition.


Maybe you know him well because their song called “To Be With You” in their 2nd album Lean Into It is a HUGE hit song, and you can see them on some morning TV programs in Japan.


[Working process]
制作1


I paid my attention to the cutting order to make the consequence process easy.


I cut the image of snare drums, then hi-hat cymbals.
Then cut the paper to make the shape of the outline of Pat’s shoulder to arm.


制作2


Add the cut line of the tam-tam and bass drum.


制作3


With the cymbals, you can easily imagine the whole image!


制作4


Next, the head and hair image.


制作5


I’m not irritating you, but cutting the paper carefully...


制作6


I wish I were Chris Impellitteri for paper cut works!


額装前


Done! Here’s the finished paper before framed.


I went to their shows three times, twice before Paul’s withdrawal, and once after their reunion with my parents.


The live shows in their 90’s were super cool that I can’t forget, though I was a kindergartener at that time.
To me, the concept of rock music derives directly from MR.BIG.


I Love You, Pat. We will never forget you. Rest In Peace...
