Last night I won my first manga award - the lettering award at the 2nd annual American Manga Awards! Thank you everybody 🥰
The lettering legend Tom Orzechowski presented it to me. That blew my mind because I’ve read & enjoyed so much of his work. He & Studio Proteus were a big influence for me.

Anyone know if there's a way to watch this year's Kōhaku Uta Gassen (紅白歌合戦) from USA? (I know I could get a VPN, but I assume NHK has extra hoops to jump through.) It was a personal tradition for me to watch Perfume's performance each year, and this year *might* be their last time on the show.

I want it so bad. So SOOOO bad. But that price.... and at a time where I really need to save up for a new computer (since both Adobe and Microsoft have decided my PC is "obsolete".)
But OOOOOOHHH DO I WANT THIS.
(I'll console myself by getting that Gameboy LEGO set in the meantime.)

Things I wish I could master instantly if we had that knowledge tech from The Matrix:
Kanji. Ableton. Harmony Engine. Every synth ever made. Piano. Electric bass & guitar. Illustrator & Photoshop (the rest of it.) Airbrush. 3D rendering. Home improvement. Money management. Time management.

I wonder if someone who works in the marketing department at First Watch likes dreamy ambient synthesizer music?

I'm working on finding ways to speed up my work wherever possible. (I work slow!) I took all my hand-written exclamations from the first four Ashita no Joe volumes & made a master chart of marker/ink letters. Took several hours, but should hopefully save time in the long run! (Working on vol 5 now.)

Was not expecting the de Young manga exhibit to be this extensive. The first and final pages of Ashita no Joe? A room of Rumiko Takahashi originals? Huge paintings by Araki from JoJo? So impressed

The other day my kid was asking me what book I was working on and I said "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime". That title is a mouthful, so he calls the book "Slime Time" instead.
💙SLIME TIME💚 I love it.

Saw Bugonia tonight (loved it!)
I love the typeface that is used in the title and credits. Coincidentally, I hacked together an alphabet last year for Tank Chair's Guicheng Academy signage/computers, w similar counters (letter holes), & it looks like a much tamer version of the Bugonia one. 😅

Am… am I turning into a sports fan? 😮
I consider myself a Tigers guy at heart since I grew up near Detroit, but while I only lived in LA for four months, my wife loves the Dodgers, so I think I can root for them too. But I’m also very fond of the city of Toronto!
Hey I’ll root for them all. 💙

Pokemon really is a multi-generational phenomenon huh? That's nice to see. It came to the US a little late to truly snag me, but I used to watch the show with my nephew 25-26 yrs ago. His younger siblings also love it.
Now my son (5) does too! He's been watching the old show & a newer one too.
