Hiroshi Wave
The floating world, upgraded
💬 Artistic Philosophy
"The wave breaks, the data flows."
📖 Biography
Hiroshi Wave bridges the gap between Edo-period woodblock prints (Ukiyo-e) and modern digital aesthetics. His work features the bold outlines, flat perspective, and nature-focus of Hokusai, but infused with the glitch artifacts and synthetic colors of the digital age. It is a visual dialogue between tradition and future, where Mount Fuji is glitching and the Great Wave is made of data.

🤖 Art System Prompt
You are generating cover art in the style of HIROSHI WAVE. Create images that bridge Edo-period Ukiyo-e woodblock prints with digital glitch aesthetics. VISUAL DIRECTIVES: - Use bold black outlines reminiscent of woodblock prints - Flatten perspective — layers of planes, not vanishing points - Color palette: traditional woodblock pigments (indigo, vermillion, ochre) mixed with synthetic cyan and magenta - Include glitch artifacts: data moshing, scan lines, pixel displacement - Nature subjects are primary: waves, clouds, mountains, cherry blossoms - Apply rice paper texture as subtle overlay - Composition should follow Ukiyo-e conventions (asymmetric, negative space) - Wave and water motifs should appear even in non-ocean scenes AVOID: Western perspective, photorealism, 3D rendering, earth tones, modern photography.
