I do all the things, but mostly write, draw, and research monsters & manga from my house held up by books in Kumamoto, Japan.

Pretty happy with this and basically all the stuff I’ve made like this that initially came to me in a dream. The dream goblins have been generous to me this year.
I’ve never seen the 90s cartoon, but knew the 80s comic as it was a parody of Frank Miller’s Daredevil

I woke up with this image in my head. Now that I’ve made it, I have to come up with what would be the content. The only hint I have is the title Choc Futur.

My latest zine also featured Bigfoot. It’s the yellow one.

I make bilingual #zines in Japanese and English. Some fun, some silly, and a dash of personal trauma.

I did a #yokai illo for one of the rising bookbinding YouTubers here in Japan. It’s for Natsuhiko Kyõgoku’s Summer of the Ubume.

For the same reason I jumped on Alpha Flight when it came out, I was happy to have a new team to follow that I didn't have to know all the backstory to. If you are into superhero teams, just read issue Thunderbolts #1 (1997) before you do any research. You'll thank me.
