Osamu Tezuka Self-portrait

[EasyPeege]

Is he saying that he just was lucky to be successful? Like he didn't have to earn it

[lulzaccount]

@EasyPeege Maybe he was lucky to be so talented, but I don't know of anyone in history of art to be so hard-working.

UltimateThanos,

Wow How fleeting. Indeed. The answer, money-the jackpot-part, was only a second . He died too young. I do know of his skipping proper sleep and meals in order to meet the demands: deadlines. the originals. Year after year, He was surely aware of THE OTHER SIDE, of his very passion.=relentlessness. For Dr.TEZUKA wanted, not to take, but GIVE. (If the word "ever" really were For Ever, he would have done so) To what He truly treasured the most in the whole universe. That was LIFE.

Hi fromthesidelines,

I agree partly, but wholeheartedly disagree w your last sentence.

For most of the time, 9 out of 10, he kept trying to find himself.  When he does, finally, he "throws up" money. Jackpot. Mind you, creativity (and creating to the point of sleepless nights) WAS his mind; that left no room for money (or any energy managing it). Of such a brilliant mind, I think it's a twist, of our cold capitalistic reality, caught where money is everything. disgusting, unrelenting.

What was this? A commercial?

[kazaustralian]

@thejobloshow it is Osamu Tezuka's (the guy who created Astro Boy) moving self portrait.

[wnsinapellido]

Tezuka rocks!!!

[conoba]

I laughed.

[UltimateThanos]

Wow. I thought it would be longer. None the less great. Tezuka died TOO young, but the impression he left will never fade.

[fromthesidelines]

So, now you know that [in "ASTRO BOY", etc.] if you see someone wearing a beret, glasses and a big nose with freckles on it, that's Dr. Tezuka making one of his "Hitchcockian" appearances. I think what he was trying to imply here is that "money is art {and vice versa}- and I am my own jackpot".

[MasterGojo]

I think your right....

[Seishirou]

cool!!!

tezuka was a master!!!

[VariusMayhem]

No! Tezuka was THE master!!! The pioneer in manga and anime. He started all of it! ^^ But there will be a new Astro Boy movie out soon! look for it!
