For those who are wondering what the bartkira project is, it’s basically a mash up replacing all the characters in the Akira manga by Katsushiro Otomo, with characters from the Simpsons. It is a pretty huge undertaking with around 300 artists taking part, each working on five pages from the manga. I got pages 16-20 of Volume six. I’m not entirely happy of with how my pages turned out, but I’m glad I finished them. It is going to be such an interesting project with so many talented people involved. I can’t wait to see the compiled books.
Here are my pages.
Search the #bartkira tag on tumblr to see more (much better) pages.

So I’ve been a lazy shit about updating lately. I’m gonna try to be better about that. I’ve got a lot of new things coming up. So to start back up here is a sketch testing out a new koh-I-noor pen.

Finished this big ink piece. About 99% of this was done with a nib and the rest with a flat brush, using dr. Martin’s black star matte ink.
