Two worlds that have no business sharing an image — and yet it works completely. Neon Samurai Panda places a giant panda in full samurai armour against a cyberpunk skyline that glows like a city that never sleeps. Ancient warrior code. Neon-soaked future. Bamboo somewhere off-frame.
The humour is obvious; the craft is what keeps you looking. The armour detail is precise, the neon atmosphere is immersive, and the panda — usually the gentlest animal in any picture — carries the whole scene with total conviction. It plays with the same collision of tradition and technology that defines so much of cyberpunk film, anime and gaming culture, filtered through Lazarus’s pop art sensibility.
It’s a natural fit for gaming setups, home studios, kids’ and teens’ rooms that have outgrown cartoons, or anyone who grew up between samurai films and sci-fi. On the wall it sits well beside Diva Cyberpunk and the arcade energy of Super Overdrive.
The physical print. Limited edition of 100, printed by Lazarus in his Madrid studio; signed, stamped and numbered on the back (e.g. 12/100). For a print like this, the 200 g/m² glossy photographic paper keeps the neon colours at full intensity; the handmade rice paper from Vietnam (approx. 220 g/m²) offers a softer, textured alternative. A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) or A3 (29.7 × 42 cm). Frame not included; ships within 3 days in rigid cardboard.
Honour, chaos, and a panda who can handle both.
