Lovely Princess Mononoke Art by Joshua Budich

GeekTyrant has featured art by Joshua Budich before, but today we’re coveting this beautiful piece on display at Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco. His debut solo art show is called Otaku Obscura, and it pays tribute to six of the greatest animes of all time: Akira, My Neighbor Totoro, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke, and Cowboy Bebop. This particular work is called “To See with Eyes Unclouded by Hate” and features Princess Mononoke. The artist gave an interview to the gallery and talked a little bit about what drew him to anime.

"The hyper-stylized, frenetic animation was like a bolt of inspirational lightning to a young artist. Once I got a taste, my eyes were open to whole new world of characters and themes. No longer was I tethered to a bland, pseudo-realistic, Disney-esque approach to the drawing. Anime has had a huge influence in my work.”

Prints of To See with Eyes Unclouded by Hate are still available for purchase. Each print comes signed and hand-numbered in an edition of 100. You can see the rest of his show here, or visit his website for a wider range of geek art.
