It's been crazy busy the last few days. Over the weekend I attented the London Film and Comic Con, a mostly sci-fi affair with people dressed up as Star Wars troopers, elves, fairy tale princesses and even Naruto cosplayers. (Seriously, Naruto kids get everywhere!) I interviewed FMA's Vic Mignogna who is the voice behind Edward Elric. It was a funny conversation especially when we talked about Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club. You can read the full interview here: http://www.animeuknews.net/article/54/from-alchemist-to-host-club-king-vic-mignogna-talks-about-life-after-fma He is a very nice guy, I will blog about the day later, but

Just thought I would let the people on the London end of my Watchlist know that there is a Japanese Art Festval taking place in Richmond next weekend. There will be: - Manga workshop - Cookery classes - Cosplay - Anime screenings - Kimono fashion show - J Pop party - Origami and calligraphy and much more... Although the event itself is free, certain activities such as the cooking class and tea ceremony will incur a fee. There will also be sellers there, so expect manga, anime and random Japanese stuff like Pocky. More info, click here: http://www.japaneseartfestival.com/ I'll be there and will attempt to draw a picture of Lelouch. Ho

This sorta happened by accident. I was feeling a bit glum so I went to get a manga haircut, Yuki from Fruits Basket with a purple tint. There's a sketch in the latest volume of Fruits Basket where Yuki is dressed as a fighter pilot, so this inspired me to get all those military jackets out of the wardrobe! So there are two new piccies of me. People who know me will know that I'm most comfortable behind the camera, so this was a bit of a change for me. When people ask me which manga character I'm most like, I always say Yuki, but everyone says I'm really Kyo! So being a bit of an army brat for an hour sure was fun.
