He then pins them to walls and ceilings surrounding by very books which he cut them from.Butterflies, which are so often a cliche in the art world have a way of sometimes reappearing in interesting and captivating ways when clever artists like Eiji are involved.

Designs. Butterflies at Niem Marcus

With literally thousands of white glittering butterflies all around me as I rode up escalator at Niem Marcus (San Diego), I couldn't help but smile in amusement and wonder!

Bravo to the visual team! From experience I know this took so much time!
