and lastly some things not Chinese:



cover art for the albums tirsdagsjam and ii by lindstrom & prins thomas. i wasn't able track down the artist for these but they reminded me of taiyo matsumoto (松本大洋), especially no. 5 (ナンバーファイブ 吾):






best quote ever from matsumoto btw:
"Please do not believe in comic artists' words. I think comics are like fake magic. To keep itself entertaining, it creates a secret device, and we are not creating comics out of supernatural power. Sometimes there are readers who have false idea about drawing comics are about using supernatural power."
