Thanks to a recommendation, I've discovered the incredible work of the late Italian artist Sergio Toppi. My book review for his Collected Toppi Vol. 1: The Enchanted World in the coming weeks - https://t.co/ibpnjgJZTy #artbook #illustration #SergioToppi

Spotted some Studio Ghibli film soundtracks on LPs in this cute little record store in Katong, Singapore. My ex-colleagues at ILM Singapore were gifted record players for the holidays and were hunting for good bargains. We found none lol
Still nursing the 14 hr flight back from Singapore to Vancouver, always hits me harder on the return trip. 😩🤪🥱 Anyway, I basically went on a Japanese film marathon during my flight and logged these 4 films - https://t.co/1TzM8RTDFd

Otomo's insanely strong cinematic vision is manifestly clear when you look at how tight his storyboard drawings compare to the finished shots in the film. The storyboard books are a veritable treasure trove on how he composed his shots - https://t.co/5gApwv3uW6
One of the most unintentionally funny Amazon reviews I've ever read was one left for the Ghost In The Shell genga/layout book (2014), where the reviewer commented that it was a "half-a**ed coloring book, most of the drawings are incomplete" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - https://t.co/4rXLLv7bUm
Heads up - a 650 pages whopper of an art book will be released on Dec 2nd collecting layouts+genga from Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA, as part of Complete Works. This new book will be like a jumbo edition of the Akira Animation Archives (2002 - image below) - https://t.co/qqLsxpNF0n
One of the many reasons why Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira manga is so visually impactful is because of the cinematic framing & composition. Otomo is as much a film director/cinematographer as he is a manga artist - https://t.co/tIhqt3L6gY
Not entirely convinced the storyboards that Otomo drew for Akira are detailed enough, I mean look at this shoddy work... 🤣😂 Just teasing of course ! My review for the storyboard book ( Vol 1 ) is almost done. You can also just grab a copy here - https://t.co/JZIKUt83AV
My treasured ( and very yellowed out ) Akira storyboard books, first published back in 1988. Every frame is a work of art. Also, Kodansha should really consider a reprint of these as they would still sell like hotcakes アキラ絵コンテ集 - https://t.co/ipIjvRp1zO #anime #animation
ICYMI - A whole book dedicated to the detailed concept art sketches by Mitsuo Iso ( Denno Coil ) for anime films like Ghost In The Shell, Magnetic Rose, Roujin Z, Evangelion, MS Gundam & more. See more in my review - https://t.co/EDV5W53Gmu
