Hobby time. I produced and engineered a weekly radio show for 7 years in Toronto between 1990 and 96. I’ve recently re-launched the same show, CH ZERO,
About me:
Salgood Sam I am, a Montreal based full time doodler and itinerate artist. For 16 years I've worked as a comic book artist for big and small, Marvel, DC, Image, IDW, Caliber, Beckett, Mr Comics & Paradox, I've worked with and for them all.
Recently I've been fortunate to receive recognition from the Canada Council for the Arts in the form of a grant allowing me to complete a Novel length project which I’m currently working on.
I also just finished a Graphic Novel - Therefore Repent! - a collaboration with DIY author/publisher Jim Munroe, available now from NMK and soon from IDW in the US!
Occasionally I’ve also worked in film doing storyboards, designed and manufactured props, painted murals, and carved a trade sign or two for local bars. You may contact me about any of the above or just to spread the love!
Who I'd like to meet:
Um, friends?
To obvious, ok
Folks who throw fun shindigs,
People who make books, creatures who talk to kooks, painters, players, doodlers and dabblers.
Guys and Galls, Cohorts and collaborators. In short, folks who get together to make interesting things and stuff.
Hey Max, it was great talking with you at the show. I'll definitely drop you a line the next time I reach civilization. Until then, I'll be here in the country, fighting off hordes of rabid chipmunks.
KAIDAN is the term used for the Japanese ghost stories, and, extensively, for the J-Horror culture. The Buddhist moralizing stories were rapidly transformed into international shockers; people wanted more frightening monstrosities and oddness, with no direct connection with the Western horror.
Manga, anime, movies and the subcultures developed around them competed in shicks and panic. If you really want to know why on the Japanese horror movies is written 18+, take a look at the next issue of Otaku Magazine. Nevertheless, is our duty to warn you that all who looked inside certain pages of this issue have disappeared shortly after. Still, it might be just a story to send the children to sleep for good.
