| Biography: |
Born, I later grew older. Sometime around 1993 I first had the crazy notion I could draw for fanzines (in the furry, or anthropomorphic fandom, to begin with). Even more crazily, my untalented scrawlings were published (and scarily continue to be today). In late 1993, I 'formed' Lazy Fox Studios, my publishing outlet for anthropomorphics, where I still run the longest running non-US furry fanzine ("Anthropomorphine").
It wasn't until 1997 though, that I first thought of drawing manga and in 1998, 'Animosity' fanzine was born . Issues 1 and 2 were run off on a small rented desktop Xerox machine in Coventry (during my university years), and it took on a life of it's own from there.
"The Life Of Nikuya", my main manga venture began life in 1995, in a discussion in Tampa, Florida, with Donovan Cantu, a good friend of mine, who first created Nikuya herself. Needing to find something to actually *fill* the pages of Animosity #1, I persuaded myself to bring it all to life. In more recent times, Purrsia Press have published the compiled Life Of Nikuya stories (one comic issue, and one graphic novel to date). I've also had art published in a handful of UK anime convention books and a few other anime zines (which don't seem to exist anymore. Bodes well, eh?).
I have absolutely no formal art training, and have little if any artistic ability in my body. For some reason, a few insane people actually like what I do.
