One of my personal favorite panels from THE COMIC BOOK LESSON. This little boy is only in the story for a short time, but he plays a pretty important role. :) https://t.co/xWhWkiEBwT
Saddened to hear of the death of the great writer illustrator Raymond Briggs. Here is a drawing I did inspired by his delightful picture book, "Father Christmas."
An illustration I created featuring Mr. Beeba, the exceedingly bookish character from my "Akiko" comic book series.
Years ago I had an idea for a story in which an ordinary family moved into a town where everyone was some sort of creepy "Halloween-type" character. I envisioned their house as being sandwiched between haunted-house-style residences.
A few years back I had an idea for a graphic novel that would pay tribute to the Japanese tradition of "onsen"-- which can be loosely translated as "hot springs." I actually came pretty close to it becoming a real book. Who knows? Maybe I'll still get my chance someday...
When I was proposing THE COMIC BOOK LESSON as a book, I created this illustration to show the three different "teacher" characters I intended to create for the story. Now we are just 10 days away from the published book hitting stores (7/26). 😄
Panels from THE COMIC BOOK LESSON; in stores July 26th! 🎉😊🎉 This is from a sequence when Emily, the main character, is waiting to hear what a comics professional thinks of her story.
Artwork from MIKI FALLS. This illustration was based on an actual location I know in Fukuyama, Japan.
A scene from MIKI FALLS: AUTUMN. The series was published in black and white, but I used Photoshop to tint this image, just for fun.
