Here’s a little side project I’m working on for my house! I’m painting Toshirō Mifune, a brilliant Japanese actor who you can read an interesting biography of here if you like. He was very talented and versatile, with a really endearing quality about him. Right now I’m just finishing my sketch, then I’ll paint over it with acrylic. I’m thinking of a cobalt blue – something serene to balance out the action – but I’ll be testing out a few different colour schemes before I decide for definite. 
It’s a fairly small painting; I have another scene of him in mind which I intend to paint onto a large canvas some day. More on that another time!
OMG I love this guy. I have Yojimbo, Seven Samurai and Rashomon. Gonna try if I can get the Samurai trilogy.
Cool!
The Samurai trilogy is fantastic, I’m sure you’ll like it.
Superlike! looking forward to the final work…
Also, if possible, try his image from seven samurai wearing samurai helmet…will make an amazing illustration!
Haha yeah that’s a great image! Thank you!
