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.

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.
