#CATBUS Illustrations by Ben Seto (#fanart for “Meow That's What I Call Art! Vol. 1” @ Sketchpad Gallery)

“Catbus”-themed illustrations by Benjamin Seto (Instagram / Shop) for “Meow That's What I Call Art! Vol. 1” cat-themed art show at Sketchpad Gallery, opening Saturday July 15th (Facebook) - with the “possibility” to be made into prints & postcards.

Scroll down to enjoy the WIPs and snaps of CATBUS (from “My Neighbour Totoro” anime) and “friends” - from both Studio Ghibli animated films, and other surprises!

The third and final catbus painting for the cat show this weekend @sketchpadgallery !!! This catbus passing through my favorite spot to take a walk through when I don't get to go out too far and I like going to the free shows in the summer.... It's been a very challenging few days and I actually had plan to do 5-6 originally, but maybe for another time, b/c the other ones just document places I frequent living in the city. I'll try to make prints of these guys or even make them into postcards that u can send your friends when u visit SF lol..... time to get ready for SDCC -____-' #catbus #mewni #princessmononoke #sterngrove #sanfrancisco #watercolor #painting #art

Mewni catbus painting 2.... I think of coit tower as a cat tree and I imagine the view from up there to be like when Kiki flies into her city for the first time.... #catbus #mewni #totoro #watercolor #drawing #painting #sanfrancisco #coittower #kiki

Here's a look at the catbus drawings in making for the cat show @sketchpadgallery next weekend before I ruin them with watercolor..... today's catbus drawings were actually the hardest things I drew all week! I can't wait to get back to my comic, which seems easier now.......... #catbus #totoro #drawing #pen #ink #mewni #sanfrancisco

Finished one of the catbus paintings.... I included some close up shots of the vehicles, the yellow fiat is from Lupin3, b/c Miyazaki directed the Castle of Cagliostro and the blue truck is the one the Totoro Family used to move to their totoro house.... #catbus #painting #watercolor #totoro #sanfrancisco #mewni #lupin
