Personal project: creating 1920s-style jazz event posters set in the world of Francis Spufford’s *Cahokia Jazz*.

First in a new series — Inaugural Night at Lydia Lee’s.

Would you knock twice?

Hi, I'm HANABONE404 — a freelance comic artist from China. I create urban fantasy stories and original characters in my little chaos called “京都Messes,” with the story set in the beautiful city of Kyoto, Japan.

Hope you enjoy the ride!

"THE CASE OF ARAMAKI TAKEMURA"

.............................................................

"What is the meaning of this? Corporate Warfare? I have a hunch. Something Sinister is going on in here. First it was Prime minister Yamaguchi, then the first son of Kirigoe Kitsune, then the attempted but failed assassination of Samuel Hayden, head of the English Hayden Corporation.

Rebels? I don't think so. The Rakashi and Kuze, the biggest threats to corporate supremacy, don't even operate like this.

And the thought of being saddled with this mess is... Exhausting.

Who is this? And what's to be gained from all of this? Who ever this person is, they're fucking playing catch with their lives. No one messes with Japanese Colonials, or the power hungry Hayden Corporation. They MUST have some sort of plan.

Why is the BCPD saddling me up for this shit? I'm in no private agency, for fuck sake. They should hire Stalin Investigations, Takeshi Agency, Whatever. I'm sick of mopping the floor clean of corpo blood and crime.

Anyway, speaking of that, I gotta speak to Caleb. My old friend would have some ideas. Something has gone seriously wrong."

(Private Log)

An amalgam of an imagined Neo-Gotham and Neo-Tokyo. Got satisfied with the results. I think I'm in love with the darkening effects digital art has to offer.

More Cyberpunk Art very soon

Heh. Looking back into older stuff and commentary is like using a time machine. I was trying out black and white comic artstyle as I used to on plain old paper but via digital art.

"Those fingers in my hair,

That sly come-hither stare,

That strips my conscience bare,

It's Witchcraft..."
