News

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't updated in quite a while!! *cough*a year*cough*

Life and work got in the way and I just haven't been tending to my poor neglected DA page. ^_^;; Well, for everyone who left me comments and notes while I've been absent -- thank you soo much! I truly appreciate it and I've tried to respond to everyone who contacted me. I'm sorry it's taken me this long to respond, but I really do love hearing from you guys!! ^_^

So, since it's been a while here's a little on what's been going on, project-wise:

MANGAKA AMERICA

Mangaka America

Mangaka America, the book I edited, came out last November and it's doing well! You can find it in your local bookstore, or buy it online at places like Amazon, ISBN: 0061137693

It features some great art and tutorials from some of North America's hottest emerging manga artists including some fellow DAers:

:iconnashya: :iconnyanko-chan: :iconsadwonderland: :iconlcibos:

There is also a great forward by Adam Warren :iconadamwarren:, American manga pioneer!

So check it out! It's a great book for anyone who loves manga-style art, and for all you aspiring artists out there!

SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH

Sabrina

I'm still writing and drawing Sabrina the Teenage Witch for Archie comics. It's out every month on your newsstand or comic store! I've been doing it for over 3 years now -- and it's NOT related to the TV show or any past incarnations. It's a NEW and exciting take on the classic character!

For those of you who haven't had a chance to pick it up, here's the story so far:

Sabrina thought her life was hard enough juggling between her mortal high school and her magical charm school. But when she starts discovering that she has unique powers, and that the Magic Council isn't too happy about the ways she's been using these new skills, things really start getting tough!

To add to the mix, there's two guys in her life who are as different as night and day: shy, serious mortal Harvey, and daring, bishonen wizard Shinji. Sabrina is currently with Harvey but can't help but feel jealous when Shinji shows up with a mysterious new girlfriend named Hemlock.

Meanwhile, Harvey has no idea Sabrina is a witch, while Shinji is currently planning a rebellion against the Queen of the magic realm to avenge his dead parents.

And even though she initially tries to stay out of it, Sabrina gets sucked into the political intrigue and realizes the Magic Realm Queen is hiding a terrible secret that will surely lead to the downfall of the entire Magic Realm.

But will helping Shinji with his cause betray Sabrina's own aunt who is a member of the Magic Council? And will Harvey ever realize Sabrina is a witch?

The answers may surprise you...


I really hope you guys will give it a chance - this is the story I've always wanted to tell and I'm now building the storyline up to a dramatic issue 100!!

And now it's easier than ever to see where it all began as the first four issues of the manga look have been released as a trade that you can buy online at Archie Comics or Amazon, ISBN: 1879794195

MY POORLY DRAWN LIFE

My Poorly Drawn Life

For those of you who don't know, I have a webcomic at:

My Poorly Drawn Life

Check it out! It's been going for over a year now, and there are plenty of stories in the archives!

In other news, I'm moving to LA soon, so that's been keeping me really busy! I'll also have a new project that I can announce soon, so stay tuned! ^_^

Awesome anime! I can't draw anime, but I try, and will succeed someday. I've never read the "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" comics, but I watch the shows. I'll get my hands on the comics soon though. I never knew about the comics, until I read Mangaka America.

I have the book 'Mangaka America' and I love it! It's so inspiring. Even though I don't consider myself a full-fledged anime artist, I have dabbled in it a bit. I prefer to blaze my own style, but others' styles still inspire me. I was excited to see that you're a deviant artist! Keep up the good work, and congrats on the book. :dance:
