Monday hero: Taiyo Matsumoto

Maybe I have run out of artists I know anything about, for today I ask your attention for the Japanese Manga illustrator Taiyo Matsumoto (1967).

I associate Manga, no doubt wrongly, with characters with big wet eyes and open mouths, so these drawings are a revelation.

They remind me of earlier work by one of my favourite Dutch illustrators Thé Tjong Khing.
