AJET Connect Interview
I recently did an interview with AJET Connect Magazine.
I talk about my experience working on Life After the B.O.E., as well as my run-in with rampaging monkeys while on JET.
Also interviewed are L.E. Fred, Lars Martinson, and Josh Shelton.
Updating Old Comics
Some of you may have noticed already, but I’ve started to replace the older comics on the site with the version that appears in the graphic novel.
Why am I doing this?
The comics from the first two years are significantly rougher than the later comics. They look as though they were drawn by a different person. And you could say that they were – I was a very different artist at the beginning of Life After the B.O.E.
When I made the graphic novel, Life After the B.O.E. the Book, I redrew many of the older comics to polish them up and to reflect my improvement as an artist.
I left the web comics as is for the past three years, but I think it’s time that they, too, get updated.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be updating the remainder of the older comics.
That Moment
Even though Life After the B.O.E. ended almost three years ago, sometimes I come across a friend’s status update or I’m told a story that needs to be made in to a comic!
Life After the B.O.E trivia: Did you know Adam’s apartment in Hachinohe, Aomori-ken was the model for the March 11, 2011 comic?
Washlet
A direct sequel to the comic “Toilet” from 2007.
After my most recent trip to Japan, I reaffirmed my appreciation for the ubiquity of washlets in Japan.
International Manga Fest, Oct. 20th
If you’re in Tokyo on Oct. 20th, come by the Big Sight between 11am and 4pm to check out the International Manga Fest which is taking place along side Comitia.
I’ll be there with my comics, The Long Kingdom #1, The Long Kindgom #2, マークと皆(Mark and the Gang), and of course, Life After the B.O.E. the Book.
Drop by and say hi!
No Kancho
Even though Life After the B.O.E. ended almost two years ago, sometimes I get an email from a JET that needs to be made in to a comic!
Thanks Marcus!
CLAIR Forum
Last year, I was asked by CLAIR to write an article about my experiences on the JET Programme and the influence the JET Programme had on my post-JET life for the JET Plaza section their publication, CLAIR Forum.
I talk about my 10 year journey as an animation school dropout who went on JET in 2002 to an illustrator/comic book artist returning to Japan in 2012 to exhibit at the International Manga Festival.
Here’s a link to all the JET Plaza articles on the JET Programme website (English).

Hand Towel
Even though Life After the B.O.E. ended almost two years ago, sometimes I come across a friend’s status update that needs to be made in to a comic!
