Hey there,fellow adventurers of the digital realm! Now, imagine this – you’re cruising along on the high-speed internet highway, sharing your artistic escapades, when out of the digital shadows emerges a troll, ready to turn your creative haven into a battleground. It’s an all-to-common experience, one I just talked about. It’s something everyone seems to live with nowadays, but this toxicity is even more detrimental to creative types (aka artists). So today we’re going to talk about that.
Hey there, fellow friends of Japan! Today we’re going to explore a sub-set of Japan: music! And I’m going to introduce you to one band in particular: Ellegarden – one of the best Japanese rock band’s out there.
Today we’re going to talk about drawing, without which comics would be… well… books. I’m going to tackle questions like: what does someone need to know to draw comics? What does someone need to get better at drawing? And a lot more. Because you don’t need to be an ‘artist’ to be able to draw. I believe drawing is a skill that you can learn. And here are 4 skills to focus on.
Hey there, lovers of comics, Japan, and animation! Grab your TV remote and get ready for a side step into something a little different today. Today we’re going to talk about the phenomenal Netflix animation, Blue Eye Samurai!
My name is Darryl Knickrehm. I’m the comic artist for Simulation Theory, Feeder, The Argus; writer/illustrator of The Immortal Resurrected, Lost Souls: Haywire; and full time gaijin. You can call me Darryl, or what people call me around this neck of the woods: Dariru. Because I live in Japan. I’m originally from the sunny shores of Orange County, California, but somehow found myself calling Japan home. How did I end up here, you ask? Well, grab a cup of your favorite caffeinated diuretic and settle in, because it’s a story filled with twists, turns, and a loooot of self-discovery.

Konnichiwa fellow adventurers! Today, I want to dive into a topic that hits close to home for many of us who have embarked on the thrilling adventure of living in a foreign land. Whether it’s the bustling streets of Tokyo, the serene landscapes of Kyoto, or anywhere in between, being an expat is an experience that opens up a treasure trove of new possibilities. But, let’s not beat around the cherry blossom-covered bush; there’s a tiny dragon lurking in this story, and its name is isolation.

Hey there, fellow art enthusiasts! Ever wondered what it’s like to step into the shoes of an artist (or more specifically, a comic artist)? Well, today’s your day, because I’m about to spill the beans on my daily art adventure. Now, keep in mind that every artist dances to the beat of their own pencil, and my routine might be as unique as the characters I draw, but hey, now’s your chance to see behind the curtain.
Hey there, fans of Japan and comic enthusiasts! Today is a new year! 2024 to be exact. And this year I’m NOT starting of with any New Year’s resolutions. How’s that for a twist?
