Reverse: 1999 x Hongshan Zoo: Forest Observation Acrylic Shikishi - Visitors.
Wait, can we just take a moment for this art style? The Reverse: 1999 team really outdid themselves with this Hongshan Zoo collaboration. It’s not just merch; it’s a whole aesthetic. If you’ve been following Vertin’s journey through time and space, this 'Forest Observation' piece feels like a serene breath of fresh air amidst the storm.
Visual Highlights
The painterly, storybook quality of this illustration is stunning. You’ve got Vertin in her signature blue coat and top hat, Sotheby looking as chaotic-cute as ever with her mushroom hat, and what looks like Druvis III moving through a dreamlike forest. But the real star? That giant serval peering through the trees—a perfect nod to the Hongshan Zoo collab. The matte gold foil border gives it that premium 'shikishi' feel that makes the colors pop.
For Collectors
Collab items like these are always the we look back on as the 'rare finds.' It’s the perfect size for a desk display or a bookshelf backdrop, especially if you’re trying to capture that mysterious, vintage atmosphere that makes Reverse: 1999 so unique.
