Japanese artists are really something else to be able to make a beautiful, nostalgic, yet enigmatic art like Tortov Roddle, Angel Egg, and many stuff more. It really is a portrait of an artist when they choose to work on their path, rather than following what are trending to most of people around the world.

There’s beautiful stuff out there, for sure — highly recommend the work of Shigeru Tamura as well if you enjoy Tortov Roddle!
