Grafx - Afro Samurai comic / Takashi Okazaki


A nice comic with very graphical sketches. I’ve just read in the news section that “…Samuel L. Jackson agreed to play the main voice of Afro Samurai in the animated mini-series”. I definitely need more infos about Takashi Okazaki and his work (Not that Blade 3 was a masterpiece, but being part of such feature films is a challenge by itself).

“As a graphic designer, illustrator, and artist, Takashi is called ‘Bob’ among his friends. His work has appeared in galleries, manga, CD covers, and a line of toys (Afro Samurai original toy). Recently, he has completed work for Sony (Spiderman illustration), New Line Cinema (Blade Trinity limited comic), and Tokyopop (original character design). Bob conceived Afro Samurai while still a sculptor major in college.
A devoted fan of underground hip-hop and American toys and comics, Bob resides in Tokyo where his IPOD is always full and his pencil never stops.
Bob smokes.”

His site: Afro Samurai (And, of course, you’ll find there many drwaings, designs and WiP)
