21 Killer Examples of Afro Samurai Fan Art
What can I say, I am a big fan of fan art and comic book art. I like to display it as wallpaper and I like sharing with our readers. So I am always on the look out for inspirational work or introduce to our readers to new digital artists. Most of these artist will use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create these killer works of art.
Today’s showcase is a Japanese seinen dōjinshi manga series called Afro Samurai that was written and illustrated by Takashi Okazaki. The series is inspired by Okazaki love of soul and hip hop music. The story follows the life of Afro Samurai who witnessed his father’s death during a duel against the gunslinger named Justice while he was a child. During Afro’s adult life, he seeks to avenge his father’s death by killing Justice.
In 2007 Afro Samurai became a 5-episode anime television series by the studio, Gonzo, 2007. I become a fan of the series and the characters of Afro Samurai, when my friend bought the DVD set and we sat down and watched it. Ever since I saw it, I can not get enough of the fan art, the TV shows and comic book art.

Hi James,
I love watching anime, but I still haven’t seen Afro Samurai yet. It kind of makes me smile about the teddy bear samurai, because I was thinking that in real life, wearing a teddy bear head while fighting with other samurai is very difficult!! Very cool art..I too have anime art as my wallpaper.
