Robot Detective Kenji 2011

I guess posting 6 images of rabbits 6 days in a row is enough and it’s time for something a little different. I love the ‘silly’ yet so retro cool Japanese Metal Hero Robot Detective K from a 1973 TV show. How many robots can wear a bright red blazer and yellow cap with so much style.

I have drawn Robot Detective Kenji before, but just realized that the images posted here had gotten lost when the website was upgraded a few years ago since the drawings are from 2008. Here they are.

Gake no ue no Ponyo (Ponyo on the Beach)

The new trailer for the next film from Studio Ghibli (Howls Moving Castle, Laputa, Totoro, Spirited Away) is on-line. Well a clip from Japanese TV with people talking over it. Director Miyazaki has created a very flat children’s book look with lovely Watercolor Backgrounds. I can’t wait to see it in the US next year (I hope).
