gut - 4 color risograph print (lime, aqua, bright red, brown) #dorohedoro #ドロヘドロ

risograph print of Nikaido from Dorohedoro, emerging from the hollowed half of a muscled, masked devil form. Tubes or guts rise tangling to the left, eight lizard heads growing in an arc above. A door hangs in the air, surrounded by drawings of gyoza, a chef knife, coins, a devil tumor, a clock. In the background, an oval of a void; a red horizon fading through green into darkness.

"and in the end you shall outlive them" risograph, 2nd edition reprint in sunflower, light teal, burgundy red, black

willows hang like curtains over a once-grand white hall, now sinking into still dark water, grasses growing by its edges. below, a white egret-like bird, 2 heads alert and a 3rd missing from a bleeding neck, perches on twisting orange growths arching from the water.

hollows, deep blue, regret or apology

a drawing divided into panels: an owl watches from the shadows of trees; a torso splits open into surreal viscera; hands held over a pool liked a ringed slab of mineral; a winding path on a mountainside.

the man without a map (1968, dir. teshigahara hiroshi) #watching

the top of a man's face is just visible over an extremely blurred close-up of a shoulder

a man in a suit kneels facing another kneeling man, whose shadow forms a 3rd figure on the empty wall to the right

passerby walk by large glass windows, buildings visible on the other side and reflections of a mountain scene making the depth unclear

a woman's face extremely out of focus so it's just a blur, a fountain running in the background
