Robert Fawcett Scans: A Parting Gift from Tak Murakami

Posted on 02:58 by Unknown
* Last week I received a note from Jason Millet: "A friend and co-worker of mine, Tak Murakami, recently passed away. Tak was an excellent storyboard artist and illustrator before that. He enjoyed your Today's Inspiration blog and loved going through all the Flickr sets. Tak had many files that I've been trying to scan... but it unfortunately didn't happen until now."

* This week, a parting gift from Tak Murakami, as we enjoy these wonderful images from his files - with thanks as well to Jason Millet for doing the scanning.  If you'd like to see some of Tak's own work, Jason put together a tribute to his friend Tak on my other blog, Storyboard Central.
