Cherry Blossom Destro Screen Print by Jacob Borshard

As a huge G.I. Joe fan, The Blot was very excited to find out about Jacob Borshard’s newest art print “Cherry Blossom Destro.” International terrorist arms dealer or slave to the torments of unrequited love? Who says a modern chrome-headed man can’t be both? This stunning seven color, artist pulled screenprint from Jacob Borshard’s ’80s Ukiyo-e’ series casts Destro in a moment of tender contemplation among fresh sprung cherry blossoms in his garden. This print is a follow up to Jacob’s amazing “The Great Pony Rebellion” and “The Sinking of the Oruko Ship.”


If you were curious about what the poem on “Cherry Blossom Destro” says, it reads:

Cherry Blossom
Speaks to Destro
‘Tell Baroness
You love her!’

“Cherry Blossom Destro” was printed using platinum-tone metallic ink, has a subtle watermark Kimono pattern, and a split fountain on Destro’s cherry blossom clipping. The Standard Edition signed and numbered “Cherry Blossom Destro” screenprint is printed on pearlescent metallic paper, retails for $30, and is limited to just 25 prints. There is also an already sold out Super Premium Edition “Cherry Blossom Destro” which was printed on Japanese Rice paper and limited to just 8 prints. All three of Jacob’s ‘80s Ukiyo-e’ series prints, including “Cherry Blossom Destro,” can be purchased through Nakatomi Inc.’s online store here.
