Captainhowdie art stile

Ok...when I started reading Ranfren, something that caught my attention more than his lucid and surrealistic performances, was his art that seemed to have been about paint (lol), in addition to reminding me a lot of the aesthetics: "vaporwave", "webcore" and "weirdcore"

Webcore:

Weirdcore:

Vaporwave:

Some people share this unique and beautiful style, but I didn't know if there was an exact term for this type of drawing

Going deeper, I discovered some manga that also have this idea of ​​being strange with "ugly art"

~(some examples)

-the box man_imiri sakabashira:

-cryon shin-chan_yoshito usui

This genre is called "Heta Uma", which is basically a genre that emerged from an artistic movement in Japan in the 70s

Where many artists went against conservatism and the government and expressed their ideas through "poorly made" arts that were frowned upon at the time.

*(It is worth mentioning that Heta Uma only began after a movement called gekiga)

~(some captainhowdie art for comparison):

Not only do captainhowdie's arts refer to these aesthetics, but also his website "Ranfren neocities", which follows this "webcore" and nostalgic aesthetic
