Heroes
The 4 most incredible comic book/manga artists; CLAMP!!! My girls even made it into the NY Times!! Now if only they'd finish up "X", which has been on hiatus for over 5 years:
You have the vision, patience, and skill to bring your unique visions to canvas.
And you're even tempered enough not to cut your ear off in the process!
I am artistic, humerous, philosophical, learned, playfull, sensitive, and spiritual.
2 essentials to be found in my life are music and art. Whether on the road or working on my artwork at home, my ipod is constantly updated with new music to get me going. I enjoy going out to the clubs to see my favorite dj's spin and enjoy the music with others on the dancefloor. Art is the other half of my life equation, and while I enjoy all forms of art, I am working toward a career as a comic book artist.
June of 2006 I spent 12 days in Japan, and it was one of the most incredible adventures of my life! Next on my list: Egypt and Israel (next year perhaps?). ^_^
