Miniatures - The Traffic Conundrum
This stage aims to drift more from the street-art perspective which looks at miniatures within a full-scale human environment; using life-size points of interest such as wrappers or instruments as the foundation to develop each scene - linking in closely with Banksy and Slinkachu. While this new shoot focuses more heavily on Tatsuya's view on miniatures and how he creates a individual and completed staged environment which replicates an element of real-world scenes. All the while, the main thematic focus revolving around this shoot looks more at the concept of traffic with a highlighted element of mystery/oddity; by displaying a typical traffic situation with the miniature figures acting in an untoward manner.

This comic strip development looks at more at the travel of traffic and the journey of these two men within the city. While the scene portrayed is open up to interpretation, the main premise behind it is the journey through the city to key sites and spending time. The black and white selective colour aspect helps to reinforce the implications here and narrow the viewers sight into the events of the men and the key figures of the area rather than the entire scene as a whole.
