You've seen this wave. A giant blue wall of water curling over a tiny boat, with Mount Fuji small in the distance. The man who painted it was a broke 70-year-old who had been drawing for 64 years and still thought he was no good. His name was Hokusai.
He picked up a brush at six. By his fifties, his work was selling all over Japan. But late in life he wrote that nothing he made before 70 was worth a glance. Sixty-four years of drawing, and he called all of it worthless. Most people would have quit decades earlier.
Over about 70 years he made close to 30,000 drawings, prints, and paintings. That works out to more than one for every day he worked. And he never settled. He changed his name more than 30 times, dropping the old one whenever his style shifted. He moved house 93 times, sometimes just to dodge people he owed money. Around the time of the wave he signed his work with a name that meant one again, his way of saying he was starting over.
His life was rough. Lightning hit him at 50, and he lived. His second wife died in 1828. A grandson ran up gambling debts and wiped out his savings. In 1839 a fire destroyed his studio and much of the work inside it. Through all of it, he kept drawing, up before the sun and still at it after dark.
At 75 he wrote that he was only beginning to understand how birds and plants and fish were put together, and that he would not get it fully right until 90, then 100, then 110, when every line he drew would finally feel alive. He lived to 88, in a time when most people around him never saw 50. On his last day, he asked for five more years, just so he could finally become a good painter.
About 8,000 copies of that wave were printed while he was alive. Around 130 still exist. Today it sits on Japan's money, hangs in famous museums, and turns up on shirts and tattoos all over the world. In November 2025, one early copy sold in Hong Kong for 2.8 million dollars, from a man who died poor, certain he had never quite learned to draw.

Minha homenagem a Truxton, que daqui a 2 anos vai completar 40 anos de vida. Todo o visual foi criado por mim usando IA. Ficou muito parecido com o Truxton Extreme, que vão lançar mês que vem no PC e consoles!
Olha só que coincidência! Estou fazendo um videoclip pra um arranjo que fiz com IA do game Truxton, então estou pegando imagens do jogo original pra adaptar pra um jogo tipo PS5, com alta resolução, e aí acabei descobrindo que 30 de julho sai o TRUXTON REMASTER, feito pelo mesmo autor do original, Masahiro Yuge!!! Com as músicas em novos arranjos!

Conhecida principalmente pelos seus inovadores arcades que, por mais de uma vez, mudaram os rumos da indústria e definiram tendências, mas também muito lembrada pelo seu período como fabricante de consoles e dona de inúmeras franquias marcantes, hoje a Sega completa 66 anos.
Os parças que vão ajudar na luta contra a corrupção:
- Roberto Jefferson: mensaleiro e presidiário
- Eduardo Cunha: mensaleiro ex-presidiário
- Valdemar Costa Neto: mensaleiro que puxou cadeia com José Dirceu
Sério mesmo que vcs ainda acreditam?
