Our AKIRA video with Steve Oliff is now up!:

in 1989, veteran colorist Steve Oliff was personally selected by Katsuhiro Otomo to color his seminal manga, AKIRA. This video documents their working relationship, including Otomo's trip to Point Arena, CA to collaborate with Steve on developing the color scheme. We're grateful to Steve for sharing his archival materials, including his personal pictures with Otomo and his family. A must-see for die-hard AKIRA fans!

Now the part you've been waiting for: The sale goes live tomorrow, Wednesday February 10th, at 12PM PST. Set your alarms!

There will be over 300 vintage hand-painted color guides available, from all six volumes, so there should be plenty for everyone. The guides were printed at Otomo's studio in Japan on 10"X14" heavy-stock artist's paper and then sent to Steve, where he colored them using some combination of airbrush, felt pens, gouache, cel animation paint, colored pencil, Pantone film and more! These are not your typical color guides; each piece presents beautifully as its own work of art and is suitable for framing (although as with all colored art, best to keep out of direct light). Price range is $40-$500.

We are excited to present this rare opportunity for fans to own an original piece from this legendary work. See you tomorrow, this will be fun!
