Share on FacebookI like those, lots of character. Makes me think of Yakuza cats, which would be a great idea for a story, actually. I'd watch / read that.
Beautiful! And those two of the cats eating sushi are simply irresistible! <3
Those are so wonderful. I'm so happy that you have shared Horitomo's creations with us. Who are the chosen ones who "wear" the beautiful tattoos? I love the eyebrows on the old master cat sucking on his fish bones. My uncle had eyebrows like that!
They were cute drawings and I also liked the cat tattoos on the arms of those people.
Mommon cats are great, the best evolution ever see of Japanese culture, wabi sabi 100%
Absolutely gorgeous art, whether as tattoos or drawings. Well done!
