The art of Yoshitaka Amano
May 22nd, 2007 at 8:27pm
Yoshitaka Amano is the character designer for classic anime series Battle of the Planets/G-Force, Vampire Hunter D, and many others. Most recently he works in NY and Japan and does paintings, many featuring the characters he created.
There is something very sensual and sexy about his work while being both classic and timeless as well as modern at the same time. It’s hard to sum Amano’s work into words.
Some art highlights to me are:
Vegetables that he made into characters. NY Salad art
The panthor headed Guin Saga.

yoshitaka amano is amazing. he is one of my favorite artists of all time. his artwork is truly breathtaking
especially in his new graphic novel, Mateki: The Magic Flute- I just bought it and I cant stop staring at his work - he truly amazes me.
I agree, I just got my copy of Mateke: The Magic Flute, and it was awesome. Yoshitaka Amano is a true genius!
Sabrina,
I could not agree more.
