Junko Mizuno Japanarama Butterfly Geisha

I can not believe that I found this... and at such a bargain price too! I've been longing for a tattoo of this character by Mizuno from her JAPANARAMA episode interview with the BBC. The artwork also appears in her "Collector File: 02 Junko Mizuno" but unfortunately the image is folded onto 2 pages and gets lost in the crease... and would be rough to copy the image perfectly. Plus the only images on the internet that I've found are super mini and would never help me out on my mission...

WEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL... I found one of her MIGHTY FINE Clothing Line tunic shirts with the print on it. The shirt design itself is horrid so maybe one day I can make a pillow out of it. Plus the fact that it's a girls medium would make it into a baby doll T-shirt on me. LMAO... BUT the image of the Geisha is HUGE and is going to be such a help in my quest for ink! YEAH!!!

Here's a pic of the new shirt. :::smiles:::

In one of her older strips; The Life of Momongo, our eponymous heroine, is born into an over-populated future world riven by famine. But fortunately, she just happens to be a 'human insect' with the ability to mate with any organism and incorporate its genes. So, aware that jellyfish adapt by physically shrinking when they run out of food, canny Momongo ensures her survival by mating with just such a multi-tentacled beast.
