ha a crisp 27 degrees...kind of makes me feel silly for complaining about the 40 degree weather here the last coulple days ;).

yea it seems like lots of people have passed threw Redding, which i think is strange because i had never even heard of it until i moved here....though i guess i was only 13 so that might be it lol.

ANYWAY, thanks for the good words! Hope everything is going smoothly with you!

Join us, Rich ...

We live in a nice compound on a farm in Guilford, raise cartoon goats and drink the nice cartoon drinks the men in glowing suits bring us.

You will be happy here.

Hello there! Still learning how to use this thing - but I like it; from the people I met so far (thank you!) I think I will be able to learn a great deal about where the medium is currently going, so cheers again!

Hehe, a good question, my friend. ^_^
My name is indeed Italian, and whilst there, I was subject to two major life influences: anime on the TV and Dylan Dog (an uber comic series!).
The funny thing is that I was drawing 'manga' long before anyone pointed out to me that the animated influences I used to absorb as a child were japanese. Of course as I grew I discovered printed manga and loved it, but by then my style had already formed to a point. So even to this day, I don't really think of my style as manga...it's just how people perceive it...odd. 0_o
Because of my style, the groups and publishers who showed interest were always manga-rooted....and so I seem to have found myself on that path.

I still take just as much influence from my collection of european and US comics as I do from manga....but there we go. I draw what feels comfortable to me. ^_^

Manga shakespeare - yup - ambitious indeed...especially nerve wracking for me as a Shakespeare scholar and a huge fan of Hamlet himself....we shall see! ^_^
