Paramodel Paramodelic – Graffiti

So our friend Pauline came up with this idea for something fun to do:

With vivid imagination and meticulous design skills, Paramodel create wondrously immersive environments out of mass produced toys and brilliant blue plastic train tracks. Entire rooms become
fantastical landscapes. Since 2001 artists Yasuhiko Hayashi and Yusuke Nakano have collaborated under the name of Paramodel and now in this Australian exclusive they incorporate elements locally sourced in Perth to create an extraordinary diorama especially for the Festival at the John Curtin Gallery.

Make your own paramodelic-graffiti

Collaborate with Japanese arts duo Paramodel to create a new paramodelic-graffiti artwork.

With vivid imagination and meticulous design skills, Paramodel create wondrously immersive environments out of mass produced toys and brilliant blue plastic train tracks.

Working in a team, create your own fantastical design using vibrant blue track in the Paramodel joint factory. Your artwork will be documented and showcased in future international exhibitions.

We didn’t completely know what to expect but were game for anything.

First they suggested lunch. We decided on burgers.

Burger Edge it was called.

It’s “look” was quite different but the food was yummy.

The outside was inviting us in to play…

The ceilings, the floor , the walls were covered in train track, trucks, cranes, toys, and little mountains.

To me it looked like a little boy’s dream place.

A picture of the Olsen family, loved our time with them.

They took a shot of us, too. 🙂

Then it was our turn to build, this ended up being more fun than expected. I did feel a little guilty since I didn’t have Silas with us. John on the other hand, seemed to have a great time…let’s zoom in on him…

…yep that’s my guy. Playing trains.

After we built a track, we got to do a test run with trains.
