We got the photos back from the Japanese embassy this week. Check us out in all our third place gloryyyy~!

Thanks again to the Japanese embassy for running the Manga Jiman competition, and for everyone who cheered us on. It was a fantastic event. If you’re interested in seeing the comics that won this year, they’re online here: http://www.myebook.com/Manga_Jiman/ and they’re on display at the embassy until the end of February I believe, so go check ‘em out.

Quick portrait drawn today of myself and Dean, it’s to go in the Manga Jiman exhibition at the Japanese embassy with our 7 page hairdressing comic “Shear Brilliance”. The exhibition opens in February! And on a side note, yesterday I finished the 6 page preview comic of my larger project “Siddown”. Will be putting up some previews of it (and the other comics from our upcoming anthology) to entice you all very soon~!

WE DID IT

“Shear Brilliance”, a comic about a fabulous hairdresser that I created in collaboration with Dean McKnight, has placed in the Manga Jiman 2011 competition! We’re not sure what place, but we’re in the top ten! EEK!

Many congratulations as well to the other winners, many of whom I know! Lorenzo Fruzza placed just above me last year, and Gillian Ha, Rebecca and Sarah Burgess are some good friends of mine ^o^ Extra well done to all of them.

Here’s the full top ten list:
