Got some really good news yesterday about a project I'm working on.

Unfortunately I can only hint about my involvement. I'll throw up some slightly incriminating pics in a few days...

Design/Layout: I'm doing layout for "Earth Rangers" which is an online comic being published at Kodansha's Michao site: http://moura.jp/manga/michao/ More info can also be found at: http://www.playfullness-comics.com/ It's written and drawn by Kishira Akanuma, a talented young comic creator who has a unique vision and a huge interest in musicals, Takarazuka theater, and American Comics!! I did the logo and I also do the layout for the "splash page". I'm designing some "goods" for the "Next Stage: Hudson Dance Cup 2008".
