Akira Toriyama
(1955-2024)
To Mr. Toriyama
You are one of the biggest inspirations in my life. Your work had a profound impact on me at a young age and kept me smiling through a lot of troubled times. Your creative spark and humorous storytelling made me want to be an artist and the memory of your work is one of the biggest reasons I keep putting pen to paper. A million thanks for all the great work you put out into the world. Rest in peace, Mr. Toriyama.
