Just for Fun. 2013

I tried to create a funny variation, based off a Japanese painting. It is called Geisha and the Giraffe. When you think of a Japanese woman, you would most likely imagine someone very miniature in size. What will happen if I put together small woman and tallest land animal in the world? What will you see if I make the tallest animal smaller then the miniature woman? Would this woman "grow" in your mind or you will try to think about a "baby giraffe"? :-) 
Here is the story of the geisha and the giraffe. The geisha was walking in a beautiful garden with Cherry blossom trees. All of a sudden, she heard the sound of a branch snapping. When she turned around, she saw a giraffe. Original work by Utamaro (c.1793) .

 I created the periodic table of elements and there some cartoon characters involved. These characters are from famous Russian and American cartoons.
