Matataku, 瞬く, is an artist few will be familiar with, much to their detriment if they happen to like his idiosyncratic choice of subject matter and essential grasp of the importance of cats.
As can be seen, his works concern themselves chiefly with handsome, muscular old men and cats, along with the occasional politician or woman. In fact, he admits as much: “I mainly like to draw muscles, old guys and cats.” Why this is the case is not clear.
For those interested in following in the footsteps of a giant:
Cool, Dark King Rayleigh and Whitebeard. I think Whitebeard had the most epic and respected death in the whole One Piece series. I admired the way he died and his personality too.
someone posted taku's newest product on /jp/ some days ago. It was so nice I started googling around, eventually leading me here, looking at the gallery finding the kanji for matataku on the pvxividn something site and then his own site and blog
yeah macho old man so where's my fav LOLI-Lover OLD MAN, MEISTER of COYOTE RAGTIME SHOW. Hope to see him in the future and please don't make it smut like he fucks Franca the loli girl. :_)
And the cats just add extra charisma! He draws other countries, he draws all kinds of animals and people...such a welcome change from the never-ending focus on big-boobed moe schoolgirls and (at least physically) a lot of gender-arguable guys.
Finally, indeed, I really adore his style :)
I don't mind sexy or cute school girls. Also, the old man are, well, a little overly done but hey, they kick freakin ass!
Anyway, his style is very realistic, just as indeed the fact he draws all kinda countries. (as you said)
His renditions of White Beard are great! I'd like to see him do more of the older One Piece characters. (I wonder if the crying girl is supposed to be Robin.)
There should be a question posed to all potential localization staff? "Are you a leftist?" If so, application goes in the trash. Problem solved.... More
Holy shit. He should make an MGS4 Snake picture. I'm sure he'd do justice to the old fart Snake is.
Seconded.
This guy is most powerfull drawer in the world ; O Theres not much ero content but theyre still awesome
“I mainly like to draw muscles, old guys and cats.”
Muscly old catmen. Now, if he'd also said shortskirted maids, we'd be looking at a nightmare.
Old men never looked so badass before...
I expected a gallery full of old men and cats. Then came the traps. Yes the women were the traps in this one.
OLD MEN RULEZ
Cool, Dark King Rayleigh and Whitebeard. I think Whitebeard had the most epic and respected death in the whole One Piece series. I admired the way he died and his personality too.
I am surprise he didn't draw old man with neko mimi
What is this, the ji-san channel?
As Shinobu from No More Heroes would say, "You don't have any MOE!"
I like the one with all the chicks and the pussy. Oh yeahhh. #70 ftw.
I am loving the influx of 'alternative' galleries; please keep it up!
Oh man, I think I just found another artist to add to my favourites list!
Somehow I'm reminded of Heiihachi. That old guy always return in each Tekken to kick serious ass.
He really is matured
from drawing young girl into an old man
Ew. Old Man Fetish. ugh.
I appreciate the originality, but damn. OLD MEN? blech
...excuse me while I go drill a hole in my goddamn head. >_<
I find him quiet inspiring, though the 'old men' scare the hell out of me...^^U
I wonder his choice of theme has a special meaning behind it or he just grew upon characters like Muten Roshi a little bit too much XD
Anyways, the girls look nice too, though not my taste...Still I have to acknowledge his talent...:) And the kittens are damn KAWAII!! X3
That vid was nice!!
I suspect Ohno-san from Genshiken would adore (and print for her walls) much of this gallery. (^_^)
I feel lame, number 13 reminds me of Streets of Rage/Bare Knuckle.
yara nai ka?
Rayleigh looks cool ; O
simply awesome.

Best day of my life (almost)
He's a better artist than most. His works have more character than the usual Animu fan stuff we see around here.
PIC 70 HAAHAHHAHAHA!!! FUCKING FELINE HEAVEN!!
Wow, this guy really likes cats and old men.
yeah macho old man so where's my fav LOLI-Lover OLD MAN, MEISTER of COYOTE RAGTIME SHOW. Hope to see him in the future and please don't make it smut like he fucks Franca the loli girl. :_)
This dude is officially my hero.

Some Cobra, yeah!
Manly (old) man FTW!!
And this artist rocks.

old guys who pierce the heavens...
Odd and strange... but also VERY VERY amazing and wonderful...

Seems so, I remember that scene.
He got a pretty unique style that is somewhat between ralismn and manga, awsome.
Now thats what I call Manly. :3
His woman art aren't bad either but his old man are just waaay manly (especially the first pic & old Abe-san, Pic.2)
Cats beard you.
My new goal in life: to be that awesome when/if I reach old age.
#24 is ma' fave
#24 My childhood ;_;
Those are some of the best drawings of old timers that I've seen to date. This man is clearly talented.
