Godzilla concept artist Shinji Nishikawa will be at California con Monsterpalooza, at the Pasadena Convention Center, from 22-24 April 2016. Why do we care? Other than he seems to be a lovely and rather talented gentleman? Because Shinji Nishikawa was also responsible for setting production on the Death Note anime back in 2006-2007. Our guess is that he'd much rather be asked about that, rather than all this Godzilla stuff he's become quite famous for in the meantime. So we're counting on you, Californians, to nip along, question him and report back on our behalf. If only to find out what 'setting production' is. Billed as a manga artist, illustrator and Godzilla series creature designer (with Death Note setting production strangely omitted), Shinji Nishikawa will be at Monsterpalooza taking fan requests for art, whilst sketching some original monsters too. More about the convention at Monsterpalooza's website; and check out their announcement re Shinji Nishikawa via the Monsterpalooza Facebook stream. |
