Pig and Mangrove (The Dam Keeper) by Dice Tsutsumi

Emerald City Comicon, Seattle 2016

      Dice came to Seattle for a Schoolism session and the convention. At animation events, he is surrounded by admirers. Set up in an ECCC Artist Alley row with Schoolism founder Bobby Chiu, and fellow instructors Kei Acedera, Terryl Whitlatch, and Robert Kondo, Toonko House laid out a portfolio of pieces available for sale. I was very happy to acquire this drawing of the title character from the Oscar-nominated animation short The Dam Keeper. It's a beautiful film.
