ITS FMP Time!

Task one find an interesting article my article is about japanese matchbox art a mundane object bought to life through illustration. I thought the article was interesting because “When you open a matchbox, it turns into a three-dimensional sculpture,” explains Fujinami. “This is probably what makes it so nice to design with matchboxes rather than working on two-dimensional canvasses. Also, there is the joy of striking a match and the distinct odour that comes with it. Something you don’t get with a lighter.” (ref http://pingmag.jp/2008/01/24/match-exhibition/)

so here are the links i found relevant to this.
