Came back from Fiji holiday last week and got cold soon after. Still hanging with coughs and sore throat but getting better. Back to work today for more graphic designs.

Too many plots coming into my head and my writing speed doesn’t cover all. I’m writing and writing and realised that I’m mixing English and Japanese. Dahh, I need to rewrite again...

Last night I was up until 3am reading old manga that I loved when I was young. Think maybe more than 30 years ago ... wow. Where all the time goes... I still remember all the favourite panels and scenes clearly. And remembered my roots of loving Shojo manga. Even now I read them, sensation of feeling is the same. That’s the type of Manga I would love to make. So, I’m trying all I have now. 🙂

The inspiration comes and goes in my dream. Woke up at middle of night and run to my computer (to write down)but then it fades out quickly. Only what I remember was that “oh, that’s great story line or characters for my manga”. Annoying. Back to my bed but can’t go back to sleep. Come back to me!!

I’ve quit my manga job last week. Well, it was shame that I lost it but it’s ok. I now started my own manga Dream Sweepers. It was more than 5years ago I made concept but wasn’t completed so would be fun to restart again. And I guess I want to keep continue my Kiseki comic as well. Fun and busy is good thing!

We are in Brisbane for my in-law’s 90th birthday. He seemed had a fantastic time surrounded by his family, children, grand children and great grand children! Happy birthday, Jiji (means grand pa in Japanese). Going back to Melbourne tomorrow and back to work.

今日も暑くてやる気ゼロ。アボカドとフェタチーズのサンドイッチを食べたら食あたりをして、ちょっとキッツー。

そろそろと絵本の仕事依頼が来てるんだけど、できないかなあ、漫画描いてると。ちょっとカラーものが恋しくなってたりもするんだけど。

おお、そういえば、これが今描いてる漫画の1ページ。セリフは想像で入れてみてください。

シンティックでかすぎて使いづらい😭と言うわけで新しく机を買ってみた。コーナーにすっぽりハマるサイズなのになんと広々と使えることか。まるで日本の箱車のようだ。シンティックも使いやすくなりました。今日はでも、その組み立てに半日費やして仕事してない〜。今日は暦上、秋入りをしたのに38度ってナニ？溶けるかと思ったよ。

マージマンガのプロジェクト、9月から始めてようやく第1章が終わったよ。来週から第2章に入ります。一気に第3章まで仕上げる予定なので、6月ごろまで忙しいです！詳しくは＠mergeMangaを見てね〜。

Finally I have finished chapter 1 for my comic book. Will update soon!

Oh how sad that I canceled Calbee work. 😱 They were beyond my ability. I can design print and things but not popup stand or boxes. 😟

Oh Well, anyway, I'm too busy with my comic work at the moment so I guess better not have such a job.😞

I’m going to use an assistant for my manga work. Woo. I’ve never worked as team for manga so I’m interested how is this work.

I bought a huge Cintiq 24HD yesterday. It’s bigger than my computer. I wanted this one so long but didn’t know this big. Hmm 🤔 where should I put this beast... but I’m so looking forward to play around with this one.

Oh, hung on. Is it already 2019? I had an epic 2018 and continues on 2019. I'm back on work this week! Hope all had a wonderful new year and winter/summer holiday. It is hot summer here in Melbourne!🤩🏝☀️

It’s nearly Christmas time. Crazy shopping organising holidays and work. Feels everyday speeding up to end of the year! Previously I worked for Snack package for Asian company and it seemed marketed well and I’ve noticed by Calbee! Best event of the year I think. :)

Merge Manga finally start making. Just done the cover page and some materials got ready. I'll start framework from today! yay. When it's ready to show I'll let you know.

I've started drawing comics again. Super action comics by Merge Manga for English learners. Would be fun! Update soon.

I’m back on manga comics for Japanese who are learning English. Keep an eye on the post! To be continued...

Yay! I’ve got a new job for educational books illustrations. 500illustrations all together. It will take a while!

Soon I'm going to start making wordless picture book. Would be interesting. :)

Book review of Wildlife Corridor

We’ve got a 5star review for the book. Woohoo 🙌

readersfavorite.com Wildlife Corridor by J.R. Poulter/Tomomi Sarafov is an entertaining story that brings awareness to children about the environment and Australian wildlife. The animals are feeling bad when the trees are chopped down because these trees form a sheltered freeway. These trees are also homes for orphaned...

here is a sneak peak... Character development.

Find out that I'm working for the 12 years old author's book. Wow. This whole family is authors. Very exciting. It's a gift to find the passion in your life whatever the age is. He is a lucky one and so do I :)

Feel like a little doodling today.

oww. I've got a job offer. 7 series of Kiddy comic book. If the deal goes well, I'll be busy next few months or more like a year...?
