I Fart George Takei Rainbow

I got to show George Takei the I Fart Rainbow comic I did of him at the Emerald City Comicon, and the brief interaction I had with him was great. He read the comic, and in the most Takei deep dramatic voice you can imagine he said: "You put me in great company. Martin Luther King? Susan B Anthony? Gloria Steinem? And...Oh My." For me, this brief interaction of meeting a hero of mine was slightly surreal but profoundly fulfilling. I thanked him for supporting the causes he's passionate about and then went on my way. Thank you, George Takei. I wished I could've gotten you to pose with my rainbow fart prop, but you still made my day!

I Fart Rainbow Web Comic Up

So I've finally gotten to release my web comic "I Fart Rainbow".  The comic will appear in print in the free bimonthly IBUKI Magazine released in the Seattle area out in the streets now.

I will update the comic section with ones that have already appeared in print on Ibuki like this one:

 

Also I will update ones that won't appear on the latest issue of Ibuki (but may in the future) like this one:

Like anything else I do, these comics are just another form of self expression, and satisfies my need to express it.  Being bilingual and bi cultural simply means being exposed to another paradigm, something which I'll continue to explore by comparing, contrasting, and poking fun at both.

In print the Japanese comics will appear in their native layout of vertical, but for the web I've chosen to go with all horizontal for ease of reader use.  

Thank you for your continued support and I appreciate all of it.

Enfu Sightings

I've started taking Elly out for a stroll in Seattle and will be posting my photos on my Flickr page.

If you spot enfu please send me your pics and they will make it to the enfu sightings section.  Thanks.

Enfu will have some work up at Rock Paper Scissors in Seattle early next year.  More on that later.

 

She is the main character for the comic "I Fart Rainbow" that I'm currently drawing for Ibuki Magazine.

See you around!

I had commissioned Harue Fujikawa to make me clay figures of Elly and Puri for me to take around with me to pose for my Enfu Flickr pages.  Here they are making their first public appearance posing for the show.  More pix after the jump...
