You’ve made it this far… six issues of carnage, fisticuffs and shoot ‘em ups. Our first arc is behind us but the story is far from over. This time around we take a chance to find out a little more about our Copra guys and gals. The story’s called “Personal Files” and it’s… well, I hate to describe it as quiet because someone gets shot, someone gets burned, and someone is violently choked (as opposed to gently choked). You get the idea: the title says it all.
So good!

When I leave Japan, I’m going to treasure this blog even more. I’d buy a book of these photographs if I could.

作品者の声:
マンガは時代、時や瞬間を表現します。映画や音楽のように流れる時間ではなくあなたの時間で思うようにコントロールできます。マンガは世界中で楽しまれているが各国によって風習や読み方が違います。
これらのマンガの作品は1960年代から1970年代の古いマンガから発想を得ました。有名な漫画家である松本零士、楳図かずおは読者に今まで感じたことのない感情、発想、想像力を与えてくれました。私の作品からこの感激と衝撃を読者の皆さんへ感じてもらいたいです。
Comics are a temporal medium. They portray the passage of time, but the images are frozen. Comics can be enjoyed easily by anyone, but every culture has its own customs for reading them.
These comics are inspired by older Japanese comics from the 1960’s and 70’s. Matsumoto Leiji and Umezu Kazuo shared exciting, strange, new feelings with their readers. I love to experience these feelings and share them with my readers in my stories.
I just bought these drawings from Alex! I recommend buying a drawing if you see something you like. The price is right! It’s such a surprise seeing how his weird comics were made.
"Time Lapsed"
I’m going to put some of my comics and drawings (and maybe…. a painting or two?????) up for display in Kobe, on March 25. I’m thinking of putting up two or three pages from each of the books I’ve done while in Japan. Boy, when I put it that way, it sounds actually interesting (to me)! Okay, I’m psyched. Come and “like” it!
ugh the images look so good on my computer and then i get all this funny jpeg compression… what do i do? okay the second image here is “saved for web”, the first one wasn’t , let’s see….
edit upon viewing on tumblr: hmm, looks okay… #shrug#
