  7. These are so deeply weird, I love them. Looking at these, Japanese animation makes a lot more sense.

  8. Yup, that's my theory now. The typical anime/manga style = Utagawa Kuniyoshi + Dick Bruna :l

  9. I also thought that Hayao Miyazaki could have been influenced by this work. The images definitely brought to mind some scenes from Spirited Away.

    Your blog is excellent!
