Dedicated to (Osamu Tezuka) Sensei! Dedicated to little Astro Boy!
Sharing a piece from 2019 titled "Bumi and Astro Boy," an 85x85cm oil painting. I was honored to be invited by the official Astro Boy team to create this collaborative painting. The artwork features two new companions from the new version of Astro Boy, along with a little penguin and Bumi.
Here's how I envisioned it: In the painting, Bumi and the little penguin are in the midst of drawing a giant Astro Boy, when suddenly! The real Astro Boy and his little friends appear. My idol and Bumi are finally in the same frame, haha! (smiley face).
I started learning to draw as a child because I loved Astro Boy. My greatest wish was to become good friends with him and save the world together or something like that.
Astro Boy is like a dream that suddenly came into my world. Why not also suddenly enter Bumi's world? (smiley face)
A significant part of my worldview was shaped by the cartoons of my childhood. Do you also have cartoon heroes that grew up with you?
