“I Won’t Leave You… Not This Time.”✂️🖤 There are many iconic encounters between master & apprentice in the history of Star Wars, and we know many of you share our opinion that the reunion of Ahsoka & Anakin/Vader in #StarWarsRebels is up at the top! We’re so excited to share with you all our long-awaited love letter to the 2014 animated series! This illustration also companions our other love letter to Snips & The Clone Wars series! Hope you enjoy this! It would mean a lot if you could help boost the visibility of our post by Saving & Sharing this specific post to all of your friends & fellow fans! Thank you all for your support!🙏✨

We’re excited to share with you all “SS BEYOND (Ver. V),” a personal tribute to the iconic saga of “Dragon Ball” and the Saiyan prince, Vegeta the 4th!🐒✨ . In 2020, “Version G” was announced after being introduced to Dragon Ball and reading the full story for the first time ever that year. Since then, we’ve met so many passionate fans around the world, and we felt inspired to companion our first love letter to Dragon Ball with a second: “Version V.” This piece is the result of being the newest fans of Akira Toriyama & Company’s genius, craft, and legacy. Personally, Vegeta represents the epitome of redemption & the value of humility and, obviously, self-pride. Hope you enjoy this! Can you spot everything?✌️ . We have a one-time, small run of limited-edition prints that will be available Sun, Oct 2 @ 9am PST, in an original & variant color scheme. Limited to 2 per person. Link in bio. . It would mean a lot if you could help boost this post by Saving & Sharing this specific post to all your friends & fellow fans! Thank you all for your support! 🙏✨ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjN7t3kr4bu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Glad to Have You Back” ✂️🦖

This originally started off as a small, little something I made in anticipation for The Clone Wars’ final season. After it debuted, the effect that the writing, acting, and visuals left had me EAGER to revisit this painting! How incredible of a journey it’s been to see these two persevere since 2008. 

Let me know what your personal favorite moment or story arc was from The Clone Wars series!✨

DAY 05- Hela😈  #MarvelMonth

She’s not a queen or a monster. I needed any excuse in this month’s challenge to paint the Goddess of Death!☠️✨. Played by the talented & legendary Cate Blanchett; her portrayal of Hela in Thor: Ragnarok was so memorable!

Whoever conceptualized her hair transformation into the horned war helmet will forever be a legend in my design Hall of Fame!👏✨Hope you enjoy my tribute to the coolest evil sister of the MCU!

DAY 04- Dr. Banner/Hulk💚

So everyone knows that his secret was that he’s always angry, but did you know post-Endgame, his new secret was to be UTTERLY DEVASTATED? No? Then I guess it’s just me every time I watch that movie.😭

Can we all agree that the talented @MarkRuffalo is just incredible when he turns into an enormous green rage-monster? I cannot wait to see what he may appear in next for the MCU!🤞✨Enjoy this painting!

DAY 03- AKA J.J.📸 The first season with @TheRealKrystenRitter & David Tenant was such a great watch! Both of their performances were amazing! Loved the purple visuals used throughout the show!💜

DAY 02- Rogue💋@theanimatedlife #MarvelMonth

X-Men was one of my favorite series growing up as a kid! I caught the tail-end of the ‘92 animated series, but X-Men: Evolution and the live-action movies were my jam. So here’s my take on the best badass versions of Rogue, combining her high school design from Evolution and the talented Anna Paquin from the blockbuster movies!🤙✨

DAY 01- Cpt. “CUT THE CHECK!” America🇺🇸

Happy July, everyone!✨Inspired to participate in @theanimatedlife ‘s #MarvelMonth and use it as a way to do daily warmup/cool-downs with everyone else! Marvel has always been part of my personal & professional life, so I’m allllllll aboard! Starting us off is none other than the new Cap on the block! Been so excited since #Endgame confirmed it. I have a great feeling the talented, Anthony “Cut the Check” Mackie is going to crush it!🤙✨

I’m excited to share with you all “GO SS BEYOND,” my personal tribute to the iconic saga of “Dragon Ball” and the legendary warrior, Son Goku aka Kakarot! I never grew up with DBZ, even though every other person I met would rave about it! I finally picked it up earlier this year, reading the manga up until Super and then watching the movies up to Broly. This piece is the result of being the newest fan of Akira Toriyama’s genius, craft, and legacy! To me, Goku represents the epitome of self-transformation, inner strength, and the infinite strive to become your best self. Hope you enjoy this!✌️

I have a one-time, small run of limited-edition prints that is NOW AVAILABLE at www.matsumotoart.com, in an original & variant color scheme. Limited to 2 per person. I’ll be releasing them in batches to make sure there’s a fair chance for everyone to get one.

Thank you all for your support during this tough year!🙏✨

I’m absolutely in love with your Ahsoka piece! It’s just stunning! Can you tell me which programs and brushes you use to make your art?

Thank you! I use Photoshop 2020 and a chalk brush I found online. More to come!

The piece you did on ATLA and LoK was absolutely gorgeous. I starred at it for like ten minutes trying to pick out all the details and intricacies and its just stunning. You really made the avatars otherworldly and powerful looking and its just beautiful ahshdlkjdhdkajdj

Wowow! Thank you so much! AtLA and TLoK are some of my most treasured stories that I keep going back to rewatch and reread with my family and friends! Every time I get back into it, it’s so inspiring. So glad to see how much you like my latest tribute to the series - I’m hoping to honor it respectfully with each entry and inspire other folks to see how incredible the Avatar stories are. :D

“If you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one. Four parts of the same whole... to master the Avatar State, you must open all the chakras. Surrender yourself... Let the pure cosmic energy flow.”

I’m excited to share with you all “Legacy”- the newest entry in my personal tribute to the timeless & marvelous “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “The Legend of Korra” series! I finally found some free time this year to rewatch the series and then dive into reading the Dark Horse comics for the very first time ever. I am now all caught up and have a newfound affection for the lore, all thanks to the high talents of Mike DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko, and every other brilliant mind that has contributed to the Avatar series. A big thank you to each of them, as well as a big thanks to all of you for your continued support! 

Hope you enjoy this! Yip yip!

Extremely honored to have been asked by @Blizzard & the team at @PlayOverwatch to do an illustration for their Anniversary event! This was in celebration of their latest #Archives mission- Storm Rising, located in the new, beautiful Havana map. As a huge fan of #Overwatch and the company, I’m so excited to have been able to work on this & share it with you now! 

✨🏃‍♀️🐉😇🦍✨
