I am currently a 23 year old college student working to get into the Communications field. I'm also working hard on writing my own comic, using this page as a hub of sorts for all the art that comes out of it. I am a Hawaii resident, which exposed me to a lot of different cultures as a child, the most prominent being Japanese culture. It really pumps me up when I go to a bookstore and see a ton of people reading manga that I would have never guessed would. It pushes me to want to give those folks something to enjoy. What I think started this whole crazy idea, was my first manga, Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai. I was in third grade when I learned about that series during a classmates book report. My school actually had a lot of the volumes and I quickly read through all of them. After that, I began day dreaming and creating all these characters in my head, and until I was in college trying to figure out my goals, I realized that I had what it took to at least try writing. I had picked up writing in high school, and had even tried writing my own novel, but just couldn't seem to stick with it. After reading a few more manga and a few DC comics, I realized that with the right team, being a comic writer was not such a crazy idea. I hated constantly writing out emotions and scenes, so why not just show those things through art? And so, that's where I am now. Writing whenever and wherever I can. Hopefully one day soon, I can put out a product that's really so something to talk about
