Eshimasa and furry
Although his western style art is a combination of industrial, graffiti/urban and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth influences, it is his kemono art (or, as he call them, "Impersonated Animals") that has attracted the interest of fans in the furry fandom.

Eshimasa is designing main characters as animals for an anime series, Love and Earth.
