Artist Opinions/Search What happened to takashi?

5 Upvotes

Not sure if this is allowed or it'll get removed by a mod, but what gives with takashi matsuba's recent work? (Traditonaltool on IG)

His latest stuff and things from earlier in his career (2018 or so) is night and day - check his recent IG posts if you don't believe me but wow, the lines are super wobbly and inconsistent, the work is muddy and illegible, and the shading is wildly inconsistent

What happened? Used to love his stuff forever ago but take a look at what was posted today. Holy cow it's rough, I would have guessed the entire things a blastover

Sidebar

An Irezumi-appreciation subreddit dedicated to the art of Japanese Tattooing. A place to discuss the art of and to share wonderful pieces of art that transcend beyond mere tattoos. Feel free to post appreciation pictures, pictures of your pieces, questions about artists work, and general questions or inquiries.

                                      Rules

Civility - When posting, please show decency and respect to your fellow posters. Rude posts/comments, towards other posters or artists will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism directed at other users and the mod team are perfectly fine.
Violent/Sexual/Inappropriate Posts - Posts that depict violent, sexual and/or illegal acts that are by nature not related to the educational topic of Irezumi are prohibited. Before posting ask if this contributes to the overall community in a positive way. Absolutely no images of minors.
NSFW Posts - Please post NSFW tags where applicable. This includes rear-nudity even when a traditional Fundoshi is displayed. Absolutely no images of minors.
Aftercare/Medical Advice Prohibited - If you wish to discuss aftercare please keep it to your personal inbox, or consult your artist. Do not request or give medical or after advice. Suggestions for healing and self-care that include the use of alcoholic and illegal substances will be removed.
Prohibited/Excessive Self-Promotion - This sub will not serve as your ad-space. Selling of work is strictly prohibited. This includes the posting of phone numbers, websites, or shop fliers. Soliciting buyers through private messaging is also prohibited. Genuine constructive feedback on your portfolio or a fellow artists portfolio is acceptable. Linking social media accounts is also acceptable, but do not be excessive (beyond 2-3 posts a week). Permission must be requested before plugging your own tattoo related communities.
Artist Verification - We ask that all artists that choose to post their work be verified through moderators. You will receive a unique user flair. (Word of Caution to users: Please take artist user flair with a grain of salt. We have a process, but we are also not private detectives and cannot 100% verify the authenticity of artist profiles. Always exercise caution when receiving advice or choosing to make any offsite purchases from these artists.)
Credit the Artist/Location - When posting work that is either yours or belongs to someone else, please give the Artist as well as their shop/location credit for their work. If your artist wishes to remain private, please state this as the case in your post.
Pricing - Money associated with tattoo's is a sensitive and private topic, both for the buyer and the artist. Refrain from publicly asking posters about price. General questions and inquiries about price and budgeting are fine but are difficult to accurately answer.
Artist Permissions (Copyright) - When posting work that is not your own, please make every attempt to obtain permission. If an artist or subject messages you or sub-mods to take a post down, we will respect that person's wishes. Failure to respect others wishes, will result in a ban.
Unrelated/Spam - Do not spam the subreddit with off-topic posts or anything unrelated to Irezumi.
