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.

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? That doesn’t mean I don’t want to get a lot done this year. I’m just going to go about doing it different than I normally do.
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.
