Throw Together a JoJo’s Art Exhibit

Let’s go on a Naver harvest. I went digging and found a few JoJo galleries. This picture is from JoJomenon I believe and is grouped into a GUCCI/SPUR gallery. I like the detail because, if you look at the dolls laying around, you can see ones based on stands from throughout the series. You can see Star Platinum lovingly nestling into Caeser’s ear, and Stone Free trying to get away from her father’s embarrassing behavior in the upper right corner.

I like this picture mostly because of Kira’s face. He looks so matter of fact, being Kira and all, so he looks like he’s trying to represent this world where all the stands are messing around for a business venture. This would be a good place to open a shop, after all.

This comes from the Part 2 gallery and is where things get really interesting. The early Part sets each contain a few character drawings done in modern Araki style in line with that some of these were pulled form art exhibits and art books. The modern style Pillar Men are the draw. It makes them look so much more stoic.

The hub for all those galleries is here.

If you’d like something less focused, there’s also this big collection gallery of Araki throughout the years including the art outside of JoJo’s. Some of them are repeats from the other gallery set, like this above one of Jotaro in an outfit that was used for an ASB costume, but there are a lot of clean versions of covers that are very cool. Also, it contains the best picture of Cars.

At least until I find a .gif of the anime version.

You can see that gallery here.
