“Longcat is long.”

Sideshow Art Prints presents the Longcat & Tacgnol Wood Block Print (Set of 2) by artist ukiyomemes, blending Japanese art history with modern meme culture to create a hilarious and high-end addition to any collection.

Ukiyo-e, or pictures of the floating world, is a Japanese art movement from the 17th century that emphasizes beauty and pleasure in life through a variety of subjects from history and folk tales. Traditionally rendered on wood blocks, the style became popular with merchants prosperous enough to indulge in the privilege of decorating their homes with artwork — and now you can do the same, with a modern twist!

Artist ukiyomemes infuses that classic appeal into the current visual language of the moment, internet memes. The Longcat & Tacgnol Canvas Art Print (Set of 2) captures the balance between light and darkness as embodied by this feline meme sensation, two forces at odds until the prophesied arrival of Catnarok. Longcat looms over an idyllic Japanese shoreline, accompanied by the caption, “Longcat is long, and all is well in the world.” In the complementing scene, the shadowy Tacgnol is reflected in a darkened sea bordering a fog-covered village, joined by the words, “The light coexists with darkness and the shadow coexists with flame.” 

The Longcat & Tacgnol Wood Block Print Set is officially licensed by Memes of the Floating World, AKA ukiyomemes, and each individual image comes giclée printed on long-lasting terylene cotton and is dry-mounted to a Baltic birch face, adding depth and texture to the composition. The wood block fine art prints also feature sawtooth hanging hardware installed for ease of display, and a semigloss varnish ensures the longevity of this beautiful scene in your collection.
