Hey folks! So a lot of people have been asking me where I’ll be posting stuff considering Tumblr is going a bit haywire. I may still post here periodically as usual, but my other accounts for art are:
Twitter: ninsectoid
Instagram: naomibutterfield_
Also, still looking for good blog-like alternatives for sketch dumps etc, if people have alternatives they like!
“Released in 1998 from director Shinichirō Watanabe, screenwriter Keiko Nobumoto, character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, mechanical designer Kimitoshi Yamane, and composer Yoko Kanno, Cowboy Bebop is the much-loved, bittersweet story of Spike Spiegel, ex-assassin turned bounty hunter, his friend Jet and the crew members they begrudgingly pick up along the way: amnesiac gambler Faye, hacker-extraordinaire Ed, and super-intelligent dog, Ein. Not only is Bebop unequivocally one of the greatest anime created but its 26 episodes (and 1 film!) stand as a hugely significant work of science fiction, one that’s centred around people and inclusivity, real and yet hopeful. The fact that 2018 marks Bebop’s 20-year anniversary makes this feel like the perfect moment to pay homage and celebrate this brilliant show. The Real Folk Blues is a 130+ page of full-colour comics, illustrations, and essays by a hit list of fantastic artists and writers that take you into the world of Bebop once more.” - Zainab Akhtar
Bebop Fans! I’m very excited to finally share my contribution to The Real Folk Blues. This illustration of Vicious will be featured as a full spread with process pages within the book if we exceed the original funding. I’m honored to be included alongside some incredible artists and writers in this project curated and organized by Zainab Akhtar and released by ShortBox Comics. Please check out the kickstarter page for more art previews and perks for backing this book!
