def in Japan: a comic diary

[nahadef]

So do you post your comics here, or on Facebook first? I haven't figured out your pattern yet.

Ah, I post on Tumblr, then Facebook. But, I post more on Facebook than I do here, because it doesn't need to be Japan related. The stuff here is pretty much just connected to Japan in some way.

Ah, I suppose that makes sense. You definitely keep me on my toes looking around to see your newest stuff.

By the way, is "One the one hand" in the second panel of this comic a spelling error, or something that's flown over my head?

 

[nahadef]

Nope, it is a mistake. Strange nobody caught it in a week. Thanks, I have no editor!

So, my final diary strip. I'll keep doing them in some form, since I don't always have new ideas, but I need to retire this '12 strips a month' thing, since I need to get other work done (gallery show in May!)

I bought a screen print press, and want to make some 'artier' comics. This was my first test print, but I plan to do some two colour pieces, maybe on canvas.

Lots of work to do!

I love 70's and 90's music!^^

Keeping it going... I have a lot more stuff done, but it's really unconnected to Japan.

 

[nahadef]

Collecting strips together for mini-comics... Each time, the production looks a little better. These two books are Jan-Apr and May-Aug.

Back to work!

My February health scare!

I had the same problem last year. I took meclizine 25MG tablets for just 3 days and it cleared it up and it never came back , knock on wood. I sure felt horrible for a while.

Wow Def, you're describing my first two months in the new year! In my case it wasn't James Gandolfini, but two family members who passed away too early last year.

I don't know what I'm taking, but it works well. Still, the blood tests are revealing a lot of other secret damage in my body.

Very Japan-oriented one:

This one goes out to [MENTION=21878]FinancialWar[/MENTION]. There's no Han Chinese in it, so it may be difficult for him to enjoy, but all the same...

 

[FinancialWar]

what software do you use to draw?

 

[nahadef]

A brush.

 

[FinancialWar]

People still draw comic with a brush?

I thought were all done on a digitizer these days.

Thanks for the comics Nahadef.
I'm new here but have just gone through your postings and enjoyed them very much.
A lot are very insightful, some very funny and most of them touch on experiences and emotions I have also had.

Looking forward to reading more.

 

[nahadef]

Thanks a lot! Currently, they're just being printed in a Tokyo paper, but I'm thinking to push them out a little more this year.

What Tokyo paper? Name of the paper please?

Are you in Tokyo all of a sudden? Want to check my story? You couldn't ask in a less friendly way.
