Isao Takahata 高畑 勲 29 October 1935 – 5 April 2018
Very sad news Studio Ghibli co-founder and legendary anime film director Isao Takahata has passed away. Mr. Takahata passed away at a hospital in Tokyo on March 05, 2018. According to sources, the director’s health began to decline in the summer of last year, and he was frequently hospitalized for conditions related to his heart. Mr. Takahata was 82 years old. He is most famously known for his emotional and poignant film version of semi-autobiographical war novel Grave of the Fireflies, received an academy award nomination for his last film The Tale of Princess Kaguya and more recently collaborated on Michaël Dudok de Wit on his film The Red Turtle.
Takahata’s works regularly broke the anime mould with their choice of story and alternative animation styles which were artistically significant to the creation of the genius that is Studio Ghibli. He will be sadly missed by anyone who knew his works and the film world will be less rich without him. Rest in peace.
“Rather than paintings that declare ‘I am the real thing’, I prefer paintings that say ‘As you can see, I am not the real thing, but please use me as a means to imagine or remember in a vivid way the real thing that is behind me’. My intent was to have the viewers be there at the moment when the sketches were being drawn and to have them share in the emotions. I want to make sure that we don’t forget the great power of paintings drawn by lines on paper to stir our imaginations and memories.”
- Isao Takahata, on the iconic, symbolic power of visual art in animation.

The concert I did a piece for last year is coming up- From The Richmond Symphony @rvasymphony: ""The soldiers in this illustration reflect many different nationalities and wars. This goes to the dramatic theme of inescapable destruction brought about by past and impending wars. The doves flying against the ranks of soldiers represent the contrasting and powerful thread of hope and plea for peace that Vaughan Williams spreads through the composition." - Duncan Robertson (artist) Inspired by Vaughan Williams "Dona nobis pacem" Hear this piece, in addition to Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony, on April 8 & 9 at the Carpenter Theatre at Dominion Arts Center. Tickets start at $10: https://www.richmondsymphony.com/event/vaughan-williams-schubert-2/ " #rva #richmond #richmondsymphony #classical #music #art #illustration #concert #orchestra #vaughanwilliams #donanobispacem #war #soldiers #digital

Tried to be productive while waiting for the tow truck. Yet another hit and run on our car within the past 6 months parking outside our apt. Our poor trusty steed 🐴 🚗 So thankful it's only things that got damaged and extra thankful for passerby, Phil. Phil is the hero who thought fast enough to take pictures of the truck's plates and tried to stop the driver. SO THANKFUL that the drunk driver hit our empty car instead of a car with lives inside or a pedestrian. It's just things... It could have been worse. Please don't be proud and stubborn when you drink. We are all human, we all need help... Ask a friend or call an uber if you have too much there is no weakness in that, only strength. Just a little psa 😉 also yesterday's coffee shop sketch from @sugartwine #sketchbook #drawing #art #illustration #car #accident #coffeeshop #richmond #rva #carytown
