Bartkira

Bartkira is a community art project in which hundreds of artists from all over the world are collaborating to recreate all six volumes of Akira, a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Katsuhiro Otomo while replacing all the original characters with the cast of the Simpsons. Ryan Humphrey created the concept and James Harvey is an artist, director and editor of Bartkira project.
These are the pages we made as requested for VOLUME 4.

And for VOLUME 5.

From the Bartkira Roadshow youtube channel: "Bartkira is an animated parody mash-up of The Simpsons and Akira. Based on an idea by Ryan Humphrey articulated through comics, the concept was expanded with the Bartkira project, a comic collaboration of Simpsons fans, curated by James Harvey. In association with the comic, Moon Animate Make-Up producer Kaitlin Sullivan pitched the idea of an animated trailer to match and with the work of over fifty artists, produced the Bartkira animated trailer."
