    Ben Kimura and the Art of Gay Visibility in Japan “さぶ / SABU” Magazine Covers

The paint is then lit within a virtual environment and rendered as a 2D image. Larger images, to maintain high resolution, are rendered in sections which are meticulously composited to form a final image that is then printed onto canvas. Each piece is only printed…
