Imagine the surprise in the Fukuoka Now office when staff noticed a bag hanging on our front door, with no explanation or greeting from the anonymous giver… Inside, we found a mini canvas with a custom painting of the cute little orange guy known as F-man, Fukuoka Now’s mascot! <\/p>\n

We followed the clues (searching the web for the artist’s signature) to find that it was a piece by French artist HardWURST (Official HP: http:\/\/www.hardwurst.com<\/a>). HardWURST creates mini canvas portraits rendering pop culture icons – including Barack Obama, Mickey Mouse and Spiderman – into cute and quirky illustrations.

HardWURST was recently in Fukuoka, taking part in FUCA Mulitcultural gathering. You can see a video of the event here: http:\/\/www.hardwurst.com\/expo\/muticultural-gathering-fukuoka-april-20th\/.<\/a> Thanks for F-Man, HardWURST! We hope you come back to Fukuoka again soon!<\/p>\n
