Thank you to everyone who came to Manga Start's panel on the History and Intro Manga Art! I didn't officially have a table in Artists' Alley, but I sat down and drew con attendees as they passed me by.
As part of Manga Start, I will be a panelist at Fanime Con on Saturday, May 23rd. It’s the History and Intro to Manga Art panel at 1 pm in Marriott Salon B. Hope to see you there!
In other news, I will resume Raconteur in late July or early August.
Tales of Encounter comic collects Snow Fall, Treaty and Gatekeeper in one book. It's now available at Treasure Island Comics and the Cartoon Art Museum. The Cartoon Art Museum also carries prints of my illustrations. Tales of Encounter and my previous book, Sea Rover and Other Tales, are also available at the Gallery Project until the Visual Storytelling show ends on May 24th.
