A number of comments and messages asked for proof I drew this (which is really weird to me, coz who would wanna claim to draw this Garbo?) but to satiate those who don’t see my Kurumi Lover screen name in the watermark or the obvious “Jonathan Castleman) in cursive:

I like to believe Arina and Daniella formed a band on the side called “Hoshi Bakudan” where Arina raps and Daniella sings. Been wanting to draw Game Gyaru for so long. Thank you @AngryangryD & @GameGrumps for everything. ❤️ .#cutiesaturday #gamegyaru #gamegrumps

“Thanks for everything. It’s time to go to sleep forever. Please don’t forget about me, okay?”. Thought I’d visit the little logo girl I designed and drew for Funimation back in 2016 now that that the platform has sunset, destroying the last remnant of Funi.

@SuperiorArtemis We cannot bury the skeletons in our closets--we must choose to accept them for what they are. Also, my dumb ass doesn't delete art off my dA so WHOOPS lol.

@AtomicAthen @dailylazyquest 2/3 for me. First one blew my mind and I had to rewatch it like 3 more times, 3rd one was truly disturbing and I could only stomach it once. Avoid everything MLP, so dunno the 2nd one, but worried.

If you’ve ever watched a @funimation video and saw the pink-haired anime girl during the animated logo at the beginning, that me! She’s loosely based off my OC Seisei. #funimation #funimationentertainment #funimationnow #anime #pinkhair #logo #animation #kurumilover

So hype for the Project A-ko BD release from @discotekmedia, I can’t. If you haven’t seen it yet, @retrocrush_tv streams the SD version!.Tried to emulate Yuji Moriyama’s art & used colours from scans of cels/settei sheets. Hope it looks legit. #projectako #retroanime #retro

Was hired in 2015 fresh out of college & lived the dream working in the anime industry for the next 8 years. I drew the #funimation logo girl, & even got to voice act some bit parts within that time. #GoodbyeFunimation & thanks for everything. Good luck to my friends still at CR

It's #NationalAnimeDay! Got into anime in the mid 90s, and it inspired me to want to be an artist. I draw A LOT of fan art of my main two faves--Project A-ko and Cutey Honey--so I decided to share some fan art of other titles I truly love with all my being that changed my life.

Hello, here's the full-colour version of that Project A-ko pic I redrew 18 years after the fact. Grab yourselves a Dr Bepper and hit the BEACH. (Jk, quarantine).I think 13 year old me would have been really excited to see this, idk.

Yesterday was the 36th anniversary for Project A-ko, so shout out to the anime that got me hooked & made me want to become an artist or animator as a kid. If you've never seen it, check it out on @retrocrush_tv and buy the bluray released from @discotekmedia--you won't regret it!

Time lapse of a redraw of an old Cutie Honey illustration I did that was inspired by the original Cutie Honey Japanese DVD box art. I switched her design from being the ‘70s version to being the ‘90s version because New Cutey Honey is my fave Honey adaptation.

Project A-ko was the one that opened the world of anime to me, and I never stopped loving it or anime, wanting to work in anime or make anime. Currently a subtitler at Funimation and a freelance anime artist. My art's even been used by Funimation on the motion logo since 2016
Which anime had a great influence on your career path, and what's your job?.
