Wonderland

It's been a while since I've drawn a full-color illustration.

"Wonderland" (ink on 9 x 12 Bristol board, digitally colored) was originally drawn for a friend as a birthday gift and this version is slightly altered from the original illustration. It's my take on Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

Salaryman: The 9-to-5 Super Hero

Last year, I entered the Shonen Jump Manga Competition.

I didn't win.

The winning entries were pretty good, so I wasn't too upset. But it's still a defeat nevertheless.

Today is Free Comic Book Day. In the spirit of Free Comic Book Day, I'm posting my entry for the Jump competition right here on this page for free. It was a hellish three weeks drawing it all and I didn't win any prizes but it was a piece I'm still proud of.  I hope you all will like it.

Remember to read it from right to left!

Can't Buy Me Love?

For the first time in my life, I drew a comic about Valentine's Day. I've gotten less bitter about the holiday although I still find it pointless. If you love someone, why not do nice things for them regularly instead of just one day a year? Besides, the real holiday is on the 15th, the day all the discount Valentine's Day chocolate is on sale.

Take care of yourselves and always practice safe sex!

Happy Holidays!

Another year, another Christmas card from yours truly. I haven't been very active with this blog, so if you wanna keep up with how I'm doing, just follow me on Twitter (@themistern) or just shoot me an e-mail.

There's another card, for those of you who have been naughty this year. ;) (NSFW)

Have a blessed 2014!

Famicom 30th Anniversary

On July 15, 1983, Nintendo Co. Ltd launched the Family Computer in Japan. Thirty years later, the Family Computer is still remembered for its success, innovation, and above all else, fun games.

 Happy birthday Famicom!
