My name is Tamsin Parker. I am an artist and an animator who has had films in festivals. I have art of the Dollars Trilogy, Kurosawa films and Lupin III. You can find it all under the tag Tamsin Parker Art. I am also openly autistic.

Untitled work in progress

I am a descendant of William the Conqueror and his ancestor Rollo Duke of Normandy. This has given me a "Frozen 2" moment and a symbolic connection to Arsène Lupin.

Five years ago I became a proper Lupin III fangirl and it has inspired me in so many ways. I have traveled, examined artefacts at museums and read old books and manuscripts. I've been motivated to learn in a way I haven't been before. I've been a tourist in my own city and discovered hidden corners. I've even found the grave marker of one of the original Arsène Lupin's actors, Gerald du Maurier.

Not to mention the ways I've been inspired in my art. My film 'I Boarded The Wrong Plane' uses heavy color inspiration from Part 2.

The really tsundere Tuco. Or Juan Miranda toned down.

30 years ago, author, veteran and bookseller Christopher Robin Milne died at the age of 75.

In 'The Mystery of Mamo', Lupin is brought to Mamo's Caribbean fortress wearing just his boxers. When we next see him, he's wearing the same suit he did when Fujiko finds him in Spain. I guess he was given a spare change of clothes while he was there. And I can imagine him looking suspicious, but putting the suit on anyway.

Either that or Fujiko stashed his suit in the plane somewhere.

I think he was fighting a losing battle with the chair's fabric.

Next in my series about transformation is Kaoru.

I drew this because I would love to see more realistic portrayals of women and girls in 'Lupin III', who aren't just anime archetypes.

On a different note, I see Instagram posts from autism centers. I wonder if they know about autistic Lupin III fans?

If Lupin tried to get in good graces with Sasha Long from The Autism Helper, even for platonic reasons, Jigen would comment on the lengths he would go to to please a woman.
