Girly Love Love Manga

I am a big fan of a shojo manga called "Glass Mask".  I really like the style that Suzue Miuchi illustrates her stories.  Perhaps her style is a little old-fashioned, but I really like how she is able to capture the spirit of pure clean fun.

Tea, coffee, or?  A teaser for a tea-cup sized animation.  Lately I have been drinking too much coffee.  So tea for me.

This is actually from 6/20/2011, so over 5 months ago?  A weekend spent with my friends in the bay is a chance to experiment with different styles and layout.

Slice of Life Comic

I think I am going to start a weekly "slice of life" or S.O.L. comic.  In terms of comics or manga, S.O.L is a genre that highlights the mundane everyday experience, i.e. taking out the garbage.  There is something very human about documenting our menial existences.  It's food for thought and what better way to reflect than by drawing it in comic form.

Above is a little comic about a chronic problem of mine.  I am not a neck specialist, most of the info was gleaned from this site.  I think I'm going to have to start duct taping my head to my bed.

Vampire Hunter D-Licious


I recently watched the cult classic anime movie Vampire Hunter D (1985).  "Dark, fiction sci-fi romance"; there is something fatalistically wonderful about the leading ladies in this anime.

Why is this a cult classic?  The opening scene says it all.  The heroine is hunting velicoraptors in a miniskirt with a machine gun

Above are some pencil sketches colored in Adobe Photoshop.
