    I’m back in Japan!

    December 26, 2016 /

    Well, I was back in Japan, for one quick week. Dec 9-16. My first impression was how cold it was. I don’t miss that. At. All! Aside from dealing with the cold, I wasn’t sure how I would feel returning to a place that held so many memories for me. A place that, until this trip, I still considered as my only real home. Living in Tokyo for nine years was the longest time that I’d ever lived in one single city. I moved around every 2-4 years growing up (Dad’s job, as an Operating Engineer), and even college was just 4 short years for me in Phoenix. I’ve considered moving…

AAAAAAAH, Tenimyu!!! ♥ Tenimyu!!

    Update-o-matic!

    May 19, 2016 /

    I want to catch you all up, so that I can move on and get over this slump… I mean, this depression. It has hit me really, really hard the first part of this year, but I’m DETERMINED to get over it. You should see my face. It’s scary. In January, my bike was stolen. So, I had to buy a new bike, but it is just GORGEOUS and has speeds, and I keep it inside now so as to prevent the Locke Lamoras of the world from appropriating it. Locke is cool, but I am not rich. I get a lot of compliments on it, so maybe I should thank whatever crummy…

    Pumpkin patches in Hawaii!

    October 12, 2015 /

    Lately, I have been watching from abroad as the northern hemisphere turns orange and brown, and people don fall jackets and drink pumpkin spice lattes. You could argue that it’s better in Hawaii, where it’s still in the mid-80s every day, and the sky is blue and clear. We can still swim any day we want, trapped in our eternal summer. But I totally miss fall. It’s hot here, and there isn’t a respite from it. Granted, I’d prefer to be warm over being cold, but it’s not warm. It’s really hot. So, I’m sure that I’m forgetting what fall is all about, but lately I’ve found myself browsing pictures of…

    I tried to imitate Grace’s style… did I succeed? It sort of ended up halfway in-between our styles, lol. I’m no master imitator like that guy who did those Sailor Moon portraits, that’s for sure! Oh, wait, what was I talking about? This is going to sound really advertise-y, but I’m not getting paid for this. I’m writing it because I want to. As in, I really, really loved these books SO much! One evening, I was especially missing Japan (I do that a lot, especially when I’m stressed-out or upset. I am increasingly thinking that I’ll end up moving back someday, but anyways!), and I was browsing Amazon for…

    Whee! I finished reading my friend Marie’s book, Bloody Annoyances. It was a very cute yaoi story (check my review on Goodreads), and I’m super-thrilled to be reading the unpublished second book, so that I can work on the cover. I’m going to be sketching out some ideas as I go through it today. I also want to work on Living Tall in Japan, which looks like it’s going to be published Mondays. I think that I’ll start out with a whole week, though! I’ll work on it this week after the cover illustration is done, and then start next week, I think! I’m so excited!!!!! Maybe I should do…

    Stolen glimpses of Waikiki and 6 months in Hawaii

    January 10, 2015 /

    Can you BELIEVE it? I’ve been in Hawaii for six months. That’s SIX MONTHS! WHOA. Shouldn’t more, better things have happened in six months? Well… things just don’t always go your way. I’ve been bouncing around from job-that-makes-me-miserable to another-job-that-makes-me-miserable, with a few awesome things in-between. Like, I drew a cover for Sparkler Monthly (it isn’t up anymore, but you can see a tiny part of it there! By the way, Sparkler is awesome. Join it!!), and met up with people from Kawaii Kon (the big Hawaiian anime con), who offered me a free table in artist alley and are in talks with me over panels to host. I’ve gone through…

    Hyaaaa—-h! That was sort of that sigh of relief that anime characters sometimes like to do. I don’t know why. I suppose that’s because things are coming together! I started to write a big life update post earlier today, but have set it aside for a while while I think about what I want to say, in favor of this. This story is still not yet over, after all! My first year in Japan. It had its ups and downs, but all along it was coming along quite nicely. I was having a great time (outside of work), and at the moment, it looked like I wasn’t going to come…
