I just stumbled across (and tricked-out with Photoshop) this phone doodle I did in the early days of ASTROBOY storyboarding, more than 2 years ago, which is hard to believe. The movie hits theaters in October and was a lot of fun to work on. I didn't see much of ASTROBOY as a kid (he didn't air on any of our local channels) but I got familiar with lots of his past incarnations during the project. Coincidentally, I had just read Tezuka's BHUDDA a while before signing on, which turned out to be (quite literally) prophetic! Looking forward to the finished film.

As a kid living in Japan, I remember that one of the stations there reran the original black-and-white show (in Japanese of course).
It was campy, even for anime, but it holds special place for being the first true TV anime.
Oh man, that original B & W series is still classic. It is a pure hybrid of a comic book and a film that is not quite like anything before or since. I watched a ton of those during the show, but I am far from being a thorough afficianado.
The recent revival is worth looking at too.
I love this rendition! A little Cliff Sterret meets George Herriman!
I...did NOT know that you worked on Astro Boy. This is all the more reason I like those guys at Imagi. I can't wait to see what they've got cooking up after Gatchaman!
