I’ve been a massive fan of Afro Samurai for years, both the manga and the anime. Takashi Okazaki @takashiokazaki is incredible with his line work, character design, and storytelling.

With this piece, I wanted to honor that energy while pushing it through my own lens, taking inspiration from Kadir Nelson @kadirnelson , who in my opinion is one of the best artists working today. #acrylicpainting #afrosamurai #illustration #fineart #artistsoninstagram
