this one's for my friend,

parody of a famous ukiyoe (japanese old style engraving art of kabuki actors).
if you were interested in kabuki or other japanese old culture, history, you might know original art of this.

well, this is Leo, as you see.
letters on top right is " lei-on-naru- do" (sound) in kanji. those conbination of kanjis is just I made for fun. we usually never use kanjis on his name but katakanas. but kanji gives very classical effect for eyes, so I made it for his name, thinking about to match each letter's mean as his character.

lei= with great courtesy
on= obligation
naru= achievement
do= endeavor

those kanjis on the bottom means "teenage mutant kabuki turtle".

hope you like this, court.
