Despite the shitty weather yesterday, (it rained. Oh, did it rain) I had quite the good day. I had a meeting with editor (U-san) and the author of the book I'm scheduled to do the cover work for (O-san) at a swanky coffee shop in Ikebukuro. I think my coffee cost, like, 5 bucks but who's counting. After some formalities and getting over my nerves, we sat down and chatted about details regarding the work: the usual format, layout and other technical tidbits. It's due in mid-January so I'll be sending sketches in soon. Afterwards, we talked a bit about what the actual book is about and I was surprised at how much U-san was learned about American Comics. There aren't many books that outline the history of floppies over here so I think this book may just set the foundations towards understanding. He was also very in tune with the whole Tokyopop movement and various TP creators. Very cool guy. I was asked what my plans were and why I moved and so I gave my little rundown to which they were very supportive and offered to introduce me to editors and and other creators when the time came. Man, music to my ears, people. I'm still gunning to pitch a short to see what the reaction will be but I will definitely follow-up on this stroke of luck.

So, I'm still on a bit of a high. I should really get down to work though. I've still got an entire issue of MJ to complete.

Oh, Appleseed was on TV last night. I watched it in bed. On my freakin' phone.
