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.

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! ^_^
