DOMO ARIGATO KITTY ROBOTTO

Sean Danconia’s “DOMO ARIGATO KITTY ROBOTTO” is the ultimate Pop-Collage-Homage (and toyetic critique) of manga-anime-giant Go Nagai’s collaboration with Sanrio (by way of Bandai), celebrating the introduction of the Tamashii Nations Bandai Chogokin Hello Kitty.

The artwork features a Tadanori-Yokoo-inspired mandala visual structure, with a universe emanating from our Kitty-chan robo hero, and featuring an original (imaginary) hybrid Great Devil Grendizer toy come to life, battling it out with Mazinger Z, Gloomy Bear(s), Pity, Koji Kabuto, Uran-chan and Astro Boy sandwiched between vintage Japanese wave prints, Macross missiles, with nods to vintage Popy (ポピー) Toy designs and Toei movie posters.
