DescriptionThis is a small doodle on an official Lain sketch card by the legendary mangaka and character designer Yoshitoshi Abe.Mr Abe was invited to a convention in Belgium and some (very few, like 3 every day out of 60) fans picked up at a draw would get a small remark. I wasn’t one of the lucky few but managed to find this recently from an undisputed source. The card was brought to fans by Mr Abe during his appearance. I discovered Abe’s work through his deeply involved participation in Serial Experiment Lain which hit me like a ton of bricks at the perfect age. What if David Cronenberg or, even closer, David Lynch directed an animated series in Japan? The result was ambitious and full of mood, a true masterpiece. After leaning more about his work and approach, any participation to any anime production would warrant that I watched it such as the quite fun NieA 7, the ambitious Texhnolyze and the superb Haibane Renmei. I collected his artbooks, his self-published dojinshi production and his manga output (like the cute Ryūshika Ryūshika). He is quieter nowadays and my enthusiasm for his work has diminished somehow but this remains a huge get. Mangaka/Character designer rarely or simply do not sell their art, so to obtain something even so small from SUCH a cult artist is super cool. Japanese otakus would kill for something like this.

Very, VERY cool. Another creator I don't know anything about (I always benefit from a visit to your gallery, Fred - thank you! :) ), but it is a really charming little piece, and it sounds like a considerable score. Big congrats, sincerely. I have loved Doodle Week! I hope you do another one sometime!
