You May Have Seen A Fundraiser Going Around Looking To Hire A Lobbyist To Go To DC And Lobby Against

At every convention or event, I get asked where “Jammo” came from/what it means, so I decided to finally just write it down properly and have it ready🤖🌱I’m currently designing booklets for AnimeNYC! https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvEoFDgkVd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pmbvzg05zwxt

Here’s some more photography! These are more abstract/texture oriented ~

A lot ppl ask me how I do my manga scenery 🤔A large part of the process is photography which has been a passion of mine since before I even started taking drawing seriously. It forces me to go outside and sort of his a “reset” when sitting at a desk alone staring at a paper gets boring and monotonous. It makes my comics multimedia. Actually, the current manga project I’ve been posting is the first project of mine in the past few years that has no photography (CG instead) but still requires a similar lightbox method and editing process. I’d love to be able to share some of my process eventually when I have the platform to do so!

early 2017 sketch commission

On a real note: I look at my manga and genuinely see that I draw and compose shots well. I used to be so insecure and beat up over dickhead Toshio Maeda telling me I’ll never be a pro for being weak/sick, but it’s nice being able to look at my art and be like “This is fucking AMAZING I CAN’T BELIEVE I MADE THIS??”

As days go by, I can see my hard work objectively rather than clouded by my views of my art. I’m actually super good at making manga ESPECIALLY considering I was crying and writhing in such bad, constant physical CPPS pain while drawing ALL of these. I would literally fall out of my chair and just scream on the floor, holding my pen with ink rolling down my fucking hand. It’s some shonen manga type perseverance sort of shit. No one has ever seen my art when I’m healthy because I’ve been sick for so long now. But man, I can’t wait until I’m healthy and my art just darts up insanely in quality. Anyhow, thanks for all the support. I can’t say something to really express my gratitude, but I know I exist on this planet to make people feel something through ink and panels. Times change; technology changes, desires change, but the necessity to create does not. Thank you for standing by my during this journey 🌱

Please read this and my others if you haven’t!

Doing a 40% off closeout sale for this sweater; shop-Jammo.com. It’s reduced to $40 from $65! It costs me $36 to make custom from scratch so I’m not making any money on this, really, but I need to keep inventory and releases flowing somehow to keep going 🌱I’m trying to get the money to do the next apparel release. Currently my only income is art, and my credit cards :) working on getting a part time again but it is hard. I need to just sell these in order to not collapse financially.

What’s available:

S= 5 M = 2 L = 4 XL = 2

This is the last run and there will not be any more because these are fucking expensive to make!! Thank you!!!
