I’m in the Japanese news!! 0_o
Published by Emma Vieceli September 15th, 2006Scary but true! I wonder what they’ll make of us!
I’m going to be cheeky and steal the news item I created for Sweatdrop to post here:
——————————
Sweatdrop artists make it into the Japanese News!
Two Sweatdrop members (Sonia Leong and Emma Vieceli) have been featured this week in the Japanese newspaper, the Japan Times.
The article looks at the Manga Shakespeare books that both artists are currently working on. The graphic novels, Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, will be published by publishers Metro Media early next year under the label ‘Self Made Hero’.
Thankfully, there is also a copy of the article online thanks to the english Japanese news site, Mainichi:
Once again we can all take comfort in the fact that this is a good time to be a comic artist in the UK! ^_^
———————————-
So there we go! This is a turning point for UK manga, and I’m so proud to be a part of it! It seems a small thing in many ways, but for the Japanese papers to print stories about UK artists making manga - it shows a deal of acceptance that we maybe didn’t see before. Then again, they could just be laughing at us! ^_~
Either way, it’s all good! ^_^
