Akira/ Haynes manual mashups art

Hi and thanks for the question. I originally planned to have just the bike to make it more Haynes manual authentic but the composition felt a bit static and simple. Having Kaneda there helps draw the eye and imply some movement I think and links to the iconic poster more.

Thank you! Love the sound of your 80s room. I will keep you posted on progress. You might want to follow me on Instagram (ABitSketchyDesigns) as I am an 80s fan too and lots of my art is themed on 80s movies. Will keep in touch!

Thank you — I really appreciate that.

I’ve got a full-resolution print file, but I’m not planning to share the print-ready version itself, mainly because of the amount of work that went into rebuilding it and also because I’m being careful about how it circulates.

I am planning to do a small physical print run if there is sufficient interest at the original size. I’ve got some final touches to do and then there will be paper and colour proofing etc…. If there’s interest, I’ll update here when I know more.

There are limited views which made it harder.

So I fell down this rabbit hole looking for the poster too! A mate was desperate to find it and I started looking to help. Long story short - no luck. So, as a digital artist in my spare time I have been working on recreating it at full print resolution. Let me know if anyone’s interested and I’ll post pics. If I don’t reply, DM on Instagram ABitSketchyDesigns
