Domu, A Child's Dream manga cover 1983

 This a very old manga that is very well done in many aspects. Even thought the way some people look a little funny in old  Japanese animation, I like it because it is more distinguished and Japanese oriented than comics I mostly see today. It was this writer's ( Otomo )  first story about children posessing telekenitic power's that set the stage for his six book long epic "Akira" which took him ten years to complete and  in that time making a 5 million dollar animated film of it in '86. I searched for various images of Domu that I thought would work together and I cut out japanese letters since I've always wanted to see that version.
I feel content with what I've made and that it's my tribute to Otomo for showing me things that help me explain life a little bit better in a strange way.

Moon Biking

I liked what I did with this project and I feel that the more and more I plan out what would work with whatever I'm given the broader my imagination becomes. Also my knowledge of photoshop expands as I ask for help on things that'll help me do more cool things later on. I like looking at the moon a lot especially with a telescope so I can see all the craters across it's face. I like mountain biking and I have a friend, Redmund who lives in Colorado who is an amazing at it and where's full gear like this dude here. I thought it kind of looked like a space suit in a way so it seemed to work. If it would be possible to work around the lack of gravity some how I would definitely do this for sure. It would be sick.
