Description Did this for my dad on father's day. He's a sho'dan in Aikido and has a pretty good samurai zen thing going on.

cool, a sho'dan? that's pretty impressive.

I love the work as usual, I'd love to see this printed on the same paper as you used in the background. It'd look fantastic on something like a vertical wall scroll.

I think I'd have to buy it if it were a print

I love the simplicity and intensity of this piece - I think that such mix of japanese inspired graphic design and the cartoony feel makes for an excellent drawing.
I'm impressed!

Very nice. You really did capture the "samurai zen", enough so that when I saw this, I though immediately of my own sensei.

Was this done Digitally or by hand? because the brush stroke at the end of the red looks hand drawn, but i can also see someone doing it that way on purpose digitally.
