Hokusai: An Animated Sketchbook

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

I just came across this short animated film, based on the work of famous Japanese artist Hokusai, on Jerry Beck's Cartoon Brew blog. It's a beautiful piece of work.

I hope that I'm still mad about drawing at that age! I'm experiencing a bout of artist's block right now,but, hope to have a break-through soon. I have a myriad of "ideas" perculating in my brain...screaming to get out! So...wish me lick. Abayo! :wink:
