Shohei Otomo’s Badass Manga Illustrations

Artist Shohei Otomo combines traditional Japanese art with modern style to create some amazing manga illustrations.

As regular commenter Macross would say, “The bomb really did affect them more than they care to admit.

Here’s a small gallery. Click the images to embiggen.
