Angel Heart Color Paper with Autograph by Tsukasa Hojo

The item is a framed piece of artwork, specifically a color paper print featuring a female character from the 'Angel Heart' series. The character, with prominent reddish-blonde hair and light skin, is depicted from the chest up, with a direct gaze. Her eyes are large and expressive, and her lips are slightly parted, conveying a thoughtful or melancholic expression. The art style is characteristic of Japanese manga, with clean lines and subtle shading. Above the character's head, the title 'Angel Heart' is written in stylized red script, accompanied by what appears to be Japanese characters for the same title. Below the character is a prominent autograph, likely in black ink, which appears to be 'Tsukasa Hojo', the renowned manga artist. The size of the artwork itself is noted as 273mm x 242mm (10.7" x 8"). The piece is recessed within a white matte board, which is then enclosed in a larger, light-colored frame, possibly wood or a composite material painted white or off-white. The overall presentation suggests it is a display piece, possibly from an exhibition or a high-end publication. The print itself appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible creases, tears, or fading of the colors. The frame also appears to be well-preserved, with no obvious chips or damage. The 'Year of release' is stated as 2005-2008, and the 'Production Studio' is TMO Entertainment, suggesting its origin. The presence of the artist's autograph significantly enhances the item's uniqueness and value, indicating a direct connection to the creator. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, from the clean execution of the art to the professional framing.
