my state of mind these days

need to talk

Manila Rocks...?

It's been a while. This is what I've been working on: a comics story about Manila's metal-punk scene.

大哥仲裁

           鳥涵、滷鳥，和帥哥程/長脖程是我從國中就認識的朋友，是一輩子的bros。2011年鳥涵先走了一步。今天是他忌日，我畫這篇，除了一如往常地想念他，其實也是因為年紀漸漸大了，有些事情不想太快忘記。Birdhan, Lubird, and Handsome Longneck are my bros. We have known each other since when we were 14 yrs old. In 2011 we lost Birdhan to cancer. We all still miss him a lot. So I make little comics on Birdhan's death anniversary.

         

Did you hear yourself talking?

Just to clarify:
 I am not taking sides in American politics.
 (That's why I spell "med care" and not Medicare.)
How can I? I am not even American!
It's just that, when I see a clear contradiction, I have to show it. I can't help.

Pour Michel Renaud et mes ami(e)s a Clermont-Ferrand

This time last year, I was very fortunate to participate in Rendez vous du carnet de voyage in Clermont-Ferrand, France. It was the first time ever that I brought my comics to an arts convention. I made many friends and met a lot of great people. One of the great people I met was Mr. Michel Renaud, founder of the event. I remember clearly the afternoon when he brought a delegation of French journalists to visit my table, and to introduce me to all of them. I could not understand the French language, but I understood the warm and kind gesture. Just short of two months later, the world we live in lost Mr. Renaud to the Chalie Hebdo Shooting in Paris (He didn't even work for the magazine; he was just there for a meeting.). I am unable to visit Clermont-Ferrand this year, but I know the people in this year's Rendez vous du carnet de voyage must all miss him tremendously. So I made this, just to be with my friends in spirit.

Happy Halloween
