"You may be a bit shocked. It is such a hard work...40 years at this. You have to be stupid to do it". -
Dr. Osamu Tezuka
Said that, he did managed to have a balance between the hard work and his love of making comics.
Not an apropriate title for this illustration, I know, but today is my birthday and my wife gave me for a gift a book about Osamu Tezuka.
("The art of OSAMU TEZUKA -God of Manga" by Helen McCarthy, Ilex)I'm reading it late at night trying to catch up with IF's deadline, but all I have in mind is Tezuka's work. I am also watching a documentary on a DVD included in the book. Great stuff!
I was always amazed by the body of work from Tezuka, and know I know how he did it!
Hard, hard work and endless hours on the drawing table!
