Mother Turns Sleeping Baby into a Work of Art
Link to story
Nuno can barely talk or walk, but already she’s a sensation in the art world. Well, at least in Nezo Art, or Sleeping Posture Art, thanks to her mother’s best-selling book Nezo Art no Hon (“The Book of Sleeping Posture Art”). And for a lot of Japanese mothers, this has sparked their creativity and started a Nezo Art craze.
Instead of just resting and doing other chores, cartoonist Mami Koide has turned her downtime while little Nuno is sleeping into a literal work of art by creating fantastic scenarios around the form of the sleeping baby. The book contains 90 of her creative works, as well as practical and inventive tips for mothers (and maybe even fathers?) to create their own Nezo Art.
Although she did not mention it in her book, Koide was probably inspired by Mila’s Daydreams, a photo blog by Adele Enersen, a Finnish former ad copywriter showing off the “dreams” her daughter has while sleeping, which were of course whimsically created by Adele herself. The blog became hugely popular in 2010, and so Enersen compiled the photos into a book called Mila’s Daydreams.
Now, it’s Japan’s turn to go crazy over these dreaming babies artworks. A daytime TV variety show featured the book and the publisher themselves sponsored a photo contest. Now whether Nuno (or all those other babies) will appreciate her unconscious star status someday is still something Koide is doubtful of, but at least her mother is having a blast now.

Re: Mother Turns Sleeping Baby into a Work of Art
I saw this, but this was done YEARS ago by a woman named Adele Enersen who blogged about it. She has a book out as well. Although, still very cool.

I thought that's who this thread was referring to. Then I realized it was a different baby ha ha! Both mothers have amazing creativity!

yah, this is not original - in fact, a total ripoff of another blogger.

Re: Mother Turns Sleeping Baby into a Work of Art
to those saying this chick is a ripoff/copy cat of another blogger, i don't get this logic...
there are a TON of artists that do the same "style" of various art forms.
take for instance ALLLLL these "newborn" photographers. i guess you could say they're a "total ripoff" of ann geddes, no?

What? There is no "logic" to get, it just is what it is. We all still said it was still cool/creative. It is not a big deal.

rest assured i don't think it's a big deal, i'm just asking a question because i dont understand that line of thinking.
then again, you haven't really answered my question so maybe there isn't any logic to the copycat line of thought and it just lacks sense.

Please, when my kids are asleep I thank God and then paint my toe nails or come on lif etc. No way I'm shuffling around to create a scene. The hot air balloon one is crazy awesome though.

Mother Turns Sleeping Baby into a Work of Art
its been done yes but its still a great visual. I am not a sleepy baby/child fanatic a shot or two does it but I rather see children awake, alert and interacting in the photo. However I certainly would love something this for my own child whenever it happens.

she isnt painting the NYC skyline in oils - she literally took an original idea (while your kid is asleep, lay him/her on the floor and create an elaborate background - snap and pic and blog) and re-created it. An ORIGINAL idea, done once (if maybe a very few times - but only publicized once). Rip off. How is it not obvious?
Perhaps "rip-off" is too strong a term but it is not original.
eta - its not a "syle" like impressionism or baroque ... its an original IDEA.

Re: Mother Turns Sleeping Baby into a Work of Art
The book "When my Baby Dreams" by Enersen is pretty cool. I saw her on the Today show in a segment. This mom's style is pretty much the same thing. Either way I think both are creative.
