I've always been a big fan of Masamune Shirow's art and story telling since 1990, when I was first introduced to his incredible characters and industrial design while attending college at Pratt Institute Brooklyn. I fell in love with all his many stories - Dominion, Tank Police, Mario Black Magic M-66, Appleseed, and especially his global 1995 hit phenomenon -
GHOST IN THE SHELL.

Shirow has been a GREAT INFLUENCE to my art and I personally place him up on my alter, along side of some of the great past masters I pay so much respect to.

Here's a collection of vectors ( which I created last year for the 25 Anniversary- but couldn't show you til now)  -  focusing on the super confident, incredibly attractive,  gun totting Motoko Kusanagi.

My objective for this series was to deliver two sets - one with Digi-Techno attributes and the other - a stylized take on POP Noir.
