Painted by art director Kosuke Hayashi, the scene captures a striking tension between sorrow and hope. His talent for portraying light as a fleeting substance gives the work its painterly intensity. That's why we released this as a limited Solegraph edition.

Thank you, David!

Thank you very much for your support! That's been a really exciting show!

Vielen Dank! Wir sehen uns beim Festival!

The ‘Ghost In The Shell’ and ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’ posters are from the splendid @reallyriekeles.bsky.social collection btw - halcyonrealms.com/animation/ak...

Helen, thank you very much for your support! If you're ever coming close to the gallery, please drop me note. It would be an honour to welcome you!

Sounds familiar to me. Much looking forward to your take on being animal like. 😀

That's been exciting, of course. A rare opportunity. Very grateful for such things to happen. 😊

Des, thank you very much for your support! It really means a lot to me to receive such comments from a respected artist. My greatest satisfaction is to feed back the findings of my work to the creative scene.

In the files we found beautiful cel setups for Tomcat's Big Adventure, imageboards for the Appleseed OVA and Kuroda's work for the video game of Blood - The Last Vampire. I'm much looking forward to publish some of today's findings in the monograph on Ogura and his workshop I'm currently working on.
