Zatoichi!!!


Here's another caricature....
He's Shintaro Katsu!, Star of many Japanese films from the 60's and 70's...I was watching these on Netflix for while and really enjoy the character...and the actor...

Pretty strange guy, but very believable as the blind masseur, who wanders feudal japan with a heightened sense of awareness and the ability to wield a blade with incredible deftness....

I think the text I put in there means "I can hear (see) you"..... I've forgotten now...

Hope you dig..

Thanks Carlos...I keep plugging away at the paints...sometimes they work, but most of the time they make me kinda grimace...

Thanks for the support, I appreciate it..

Love it, used to watch the flicks on IFC's "Samurai Saturdays". Zatoichi was the main staple...
