Hi ^_^ here's a bit about me: I'm a manga influenced artist with a BA in Illustration and Animation from Kingston University, and absurdly grand aspirations. I have an equally huge passion for both animation and comics... I think my manga influence stems from the overwhelming amount of inspiring animation and comics I've found from Japan. In my time since university I've had the fortune to win two awards that I'm still stunned about: - Grand Prize in Tokyopop's first Rising Stars of Manga UK competition, for ' Falling Star', an 18 page short comic. - Overall Winner of the 2006 International Manga and Anime Festival ( IMAF) for ' Rolighed', a 3 min animation produced during my time at Kingston. You can find my work here and here ^_^

rolighed looks like an intrigueing read - based on the pages i've seen i would definately pick it up were it available. your pacing and art style are well thought out and very clear, and yet the comic still retains its immediacy to read. i hope one day i'll get to read the whole story ^^ 1 Reply [ Latest posted on February 17th, 2007 5:38 AM ]
