Rants, Raves and Random Stuff

News Flash!

Jul 3, 2009

Hey all!

It's a quick news flash of stuff that's been up over the past week that I missed mentioning!

1) nemu*nemu was mentioned on Vic F.'s new webcomic reporting site, "Koi Koi Eleven"! As an added bonus, Vic does his own webcomic, "Dubmarine", as well~

2) I was featured as a guest on the Art & Story EXTREME!!! podcast! For those not familiar, the "Extreme!" podcast is a shorter, more casual take on the Art & Story podcasts and Alive talkcasts. I get to talk story about my new computer, some of my woes with Painter, automatic personality overdrive, and my ball-jointed doll collection... (see photo~)

You can listen in on the Art & Story blog or download/subscribe from iTunes.

And a quick reminder that we will have our first "official" book-signing at Borders Books & Music at Ward Center on Saturday, July 18th from 2pm-3pm! More info here~

Save the date!

Pup Look-Alikes!

Jun 28, 2009

They say with the bajillions of people out there, there's bound to be someone that looks like you.

This applies to the pups as well~ :D

Anna D., a long-time reader and fan -- and guest artist -- contacted me a few weeks earlier about a mysterious pair of pups she found locally that looked a LOT like the early versions Anpan & Nemu. Curious myself, I asked her to send photos.

...and here they are!

Aren't they cute? She went an extra step and re-enacted some of the scenes from our early comics! :D

Thanks Anna for sharing these great photos! :D

Have you found pups or people with striking resemblance to our characters? Share!

Work Station Upgrade 2009

Jun 27, 2009

It's been a long time coming!

I've FINALLY upgraded my old 24" imac to a new 24" imac - totally built-to-order!

My previous workhorse was named the "Pluffy Palace" - but I think this computer deserves a name with much more... gusto.

I dub thee - the Henshin HQ!

Click to see what else is on my current desktop...

Although my previous system was still faring well, the upgrade was definitely needed and I can really tell a difference when working in Photoshop -- since most of my working files are ginormous~ :D

...now... is anyone interested in buying my old iMac? ^^?

For more photos of my work desk, both old and new - you can check them out in my flickr collection~ A lot has changed in 3 years! :D
