For almost six years, Catsuka has been my go-to place for international and indie animation where I discovered some of my favorite animators/directors including Masanobu Hiraoka and Hiromatsu Shu along with expanding my horizons on what animation could be. I sadly missed out on their 20th anniversary back in 2020 but I knew when the 25th anniversary came up, I had to participate in it! So I drew on my digital shikishi board Witch Girl and Wizard Boy from Magic Play along with one of their mascots, P3! You can view my art right now on their special celebration page:

Catsuka 25th Anniversary

Congratulations on the big 25, Catsuka!

We're nearly a week left until the Youtube premiere for Magic Play! In the meantime, here's one of the several collab illustrations I did for @anthologyofartists which was a bakery AU. I got to use the sketches I did for the world years ago as reference for this backdrop along with designing their cute uniforms! I also included a couple of new characters that I had in mind for the expanded story!
