I'm listening his music from the playlist by Edgar Wright.

October and November!

This weekend is the MCM weekend!! I will be at CD12 at Comic Village with my fellow manga artist Inko! Unfortunately, there might not be many new things on my table (have been very busy...), but still I will take sketch commissions or you're welcome to pop in to say hi! 

Also, on Saturday and Sunday, I will offer manga workshop at Letraset booth. There are many different manga workshops going on at Letraset booth at MCM this weekend, so come to check the programme.

All the classes are on a first come first served basis!

And right after the MCM, there is Anime Attacks at Gateshead.

I will have a table and offer two sessions of manga workshop.

So please come!

Pink tinted lip cream

I was listening to a talk about visiting the shelters and towns in Fukushima, Japan. And the guy who was reporting mentioned that the girls at a the shelter he had visited would love to have some tinted lip creams.

This story made me sad and happy. Sad, because they can't even have lip creams. Happy, even in these hardships they now have gathered some energy to care their appearance.

Girls, hung on!
