Hey Dan,
This is Ryan from Same Hat… I’m looking forward to meeting you at MoCCA this weekend (I’ll be flying in from SF). Any chance you’ll have advanced copies of the new Takashi Nemoto book?
See you then (and I’ll have the proofs for Tokyo Zombie to share).
Best, Ryan
This seems related to Ryan’s area of interest: Any possibility of working with Mimiyo Tomozawa, the artist who did the art for the Jim O’Rourke albums Eureka and Insignificance, who supposedly also has some manga to her name?
(Obviously, most of these books seem awesome, and I’m really glad that the Ken Kagami thing is for sale at the Picturebox site.)
wait, why don’t I get to sign books with Gondry?
What does Gondry have to do with comics, or Picturebox?
He drew one called We Lost the War but Won the Battle, and Picturebox put it out. Come on, stay focused.
Is it about a super creative indie rocker that makes an imaginary robot out of a cardboard box that knits a girl he has a crush on a really cool looking Goodwill sweater?
i just read the latest picturebox news.
please can you make syd mead and cf make a comic together.
thanks!
Leon
