Oh man I’m psyched I found this blog! I recently self published (a very small run but still!) my own manga/ yaoi comic for the Mocca comic convention in NYC. My plan is to keep the comic going as a web comic and maybe print again in the future depending on how it goes! www.shipjumpercomic.com

Hey followers! I want to apologize for being kind of slow here. I’m getting into my final week here at SCAD, moving to a new apartment and graduating all in the same week…yikes! Anyway, it might be a little slow for the next week or so, but I wanted to post an informative blog to keep you guys going. Now, Sofi and I kind of passed this off to each other while working on our respective...

Hrm.. o-o!
I’m an art student myself and I’ve also had dreams of having a comic published but it seems like schools in general don’t approve of any kind of asian influenced art when you yourself aren’t well… asian. I’ve grown used to having people at school look at my work and really enjoy my coloring skills but not much of anything else. I always get that question,...

Inhuman
Have a long-running scifi comic about a crazy boy and his alien cohorts as he tries to set his head straight. I’m one of those comic artists who will probably never be published, because I can’t afford to quit my day job (teaching) and so have very little time to work on the comic in spite of pages now taking upwards of 14 hours to complete. Plus, y’know. Colour. And fuzzy...

bigshellincident asked: Just a quick question re: fan art. I do lots of OCs for other people, which do not belong to any publishers. What do they count as? (like this http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=2299090), or this (http://www.paperdemon.com/art/user/6095/home), which contain some publisher fan arts and some originals, and some other people's OCs. XD

Manga Magazine
Just wanted to bring your attention to http://www.mangamagazine.net, MM is a company that sponsors manga artists in hopes of promoting a similar ”revival” of the genre online. I thought maybe you’d be interested since we share coinciding goals :] I’m the author and artist of SIN, one of the early titles on the site.
