A number of people are wondering whether or not I’ve tried to contact Katsuhiro Otomo. Of course, I have!
A Japanese man who sells prints of Shohei Otomo’s work showed Bartkira to the Otomos. Apparently Katsuhiro laughed, but said he didn’t really get it. His son Shohei thought it was very cool….
“So would you fuck one dude forever or a bunch of other dudes?”
“Dude, everyone knows if I found an Aragorn doppelganger wearing a Slayer cut off tee with the side titty hanging out, flipping a bacon burger, with a huge D, it’s over. I wouldn’t need anything else.”
“Well.. shit. I guess that exists somewhere in the world.”
True Story.
SPRINGFIELD IS READY TO E-X-P-L-O-D-E!
Here are my finished pages for the BARTKIRA Project which I submitted to James Harvey a couple days ago. These pages are based off of Volume 4 of the Manga series.
Hey! First of all, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who’s been staying up all night to get everything in by the deadline… I’m really impressed and not just a little bit touched that this project has inspired you all to work so hard! I’m astonished by the work you’ve been doing.
Second, there’s…
BARTKIRA!
Finished the pages and submitted them to the committee. I’ll post the pages on this tumblr after the due date (tomorrow).
