Oops. Looks like that Maruko-chan film was not directed by Morimoto. Dammit Ben! From Cartoon Brew:

Joshua Smith writes, "The Koji Morimoto film you linked was not actually done by Morimoto; it is an example of Masaaki Yuasa's animation from the 1992 Chibi Maruko-chan film My Favorite Song. As you know, Yuasa is the director of Mind Game and did layout, character design, and was animation director of Morimoto's Noiseman Sound Insect. The link is from a short bio of Yuasa at kojimorimoto.net, which contains another clip from the same film."

Ah well. It's still pretty damn cool... and addicting.

Here's a pinup I did for my friend Dave Roman. It's for his book Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden, written by Dave, drawn by John Green. I highly recommend it! It features some great high flying adventure...
