HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY, LUPIN III~!!!!

That's right, folks. Today marks the day that legendary anime gentleman thief and badass, Lupin III, was created on August 10, 1967 in Weekly Manga Action and over the years he's been in different manga appearances, games, anime series, OVAs, theatrical films, specials, music CDs, etc. stealing our hearts and righting wrongs for 46 years. Lupin III franchise has even paved the way for modern day anime and manga over the years such as Naruto, One Piece, Cowboy Bebop, and thousands more.

As u guys kno, I'm a huge fan of the Lupin III franchise and the other works by Lupin III creator, Kazuhiko Katō (AKA Monkey Punch). For this occasion, I've decided to make this caricature of Monkey Punch himself in his MAD Magazine/Playboy manga/anime style with his Monkey mascot and little furball with feet as seen in Many of MP's mangas such as Lupin III~Chapter 91: King Of The Cave of the first manga series and artworks on top of Monkey Punch's beret hat, which u can't see due to me shading it in too dark. Me and r both working on a art collaboration for this event.

I was inspired by a faceless caricature of Monkey Punch (using a over-sized sketch pad covering his face) that he made in Chapter 14 of the first manga series- "Interview With a Lupin" (Lupin III: Behind the Manga”)(www.youtube.com/watch?v=q95O_n… & www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXLBEU… , or the battered and beaten version of him from Chapter 48 of the first original manga series-"The Dream Sequence", or the caricature used of him from Lupin and Zenigata's very first appearance in Chapter 1 of the original manga- "Art of the Entrance" (or "The Arrest Of Lupin The Third), the same MP caricature that was reused in Mankatsu)(25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdi… & i2.pixiv.net/img46/img/02kisar… & i2.pixiv.net/img46/img/02kisar… & i2.pixiv.net/img100/img/5296-3… . I used the pics and vids as references for this pic along with this reference from The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (3.bp.blogspot.com/-KXktE7N9lpI… to draw this pic. I basically combined different caricatures of MP including this photo: farm7.staticflickr.com/6218/69…

Keep an eye out for the art collab with me and coming soon along with some new separate pieces from us based around the Lupin III franchise. I'll be back soon with more pieces related to the Tex Avery and Roger Rabbit franchises.

~Cheers.
