These are postcards I made when I exhibited at Little Tokyo. It was a time when I was experimenting with different ways to depict various lesbians. It’s pretty rare for me to draw femme characters these days…
Tokusatsu legend has passed away today at 59 due to cancer 😔
Veteran Japan Action Enterprise performer Riichi Seike has passed away at 59. JAE confirmed his passing, closing a decades-long career built almost entirely on physical performance: suit acting, action acting, stunt coordination, swordplay, motion work, and action direction.
He also carried that skill into anime and CG animation. In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (2005), Seike was credited as a Battle Motion Actor, physically performing complex martial arts and sword-combat movement so animators could translate real-world stunt physics into the film’s high-flying CG battles involving characters such as Cloud Strife and Sephiroth.
Selected known works include:
Space Sheriff Sharivan — Super Hero Taisen Z
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children — Battle Motion Actor

Suit acting is a craft where the face disappears, but the performance still has to speak. Seike made movement feel emotional, dangerous, funny, tragic, and unforgettable.
Rest in peace, Riichi Seike 🕊️
No, there is no flash of light, just a release of zinc. This video shows an artificial flash of light caused by bathing an egg in fluorophores that light up when they come into contact with zinc & then artificially causing zinc to be released. This only confirms Anna’s ignorance.
