hello peeps,

Sorry for the lack of update here, i've been spending most of my time in Facebook. so if you're in FB and you want to be updated on what i've been doing art-wise, 'friend' me in FB and put 'deviant' on the message with it. Also 'like' my Gawakoto page as well, cos this contains most of the updates on my design stuff and other comic related goings-on.

anyway, i've been busy on the  pages of the GN 'Straw' (which unfortunately, i have to drop it for personal reasons) and design stuff for fightwear/clothing companies. my latest designs were for a company called Scramble, a BJJ/MMA clothing company based in the UK, who's creating buzz in the fightwear business at the moment. i've done a couple of adverts for them in a form of a comic strip featuring my creation 'Scrambleman'. you can see the first installment in the August issue of 'Fighters only' magazine and the second installment will be due next month.I've also designed a fight shirt for the UFC fighter Darren 'Bone Crusher' Uyenoyama, who will be fighting Yamamoto in the year-end UFC bout (Lesnar v Overeem). Apart from these, i've designed a few more shirts for Scramble and for other fightwear companies. so keep an eye on them

however, the biggest announcement so far would be is that my creation 'Gunshy', will be published by Arcana next year. Better get crackin' on it really.

I've been very fortunate this year, despite having a full-time job as a nurse and having a family, i still managed to get some paid work with my art. the coming year doesn't look so bad either, bec. apart from 'Gunshy' , i will also be collaborating with a well-known  tee company in japan for a series of t-shirts.

i think that's a bit too long already.

thanks for leaving your comments and 'faves' my work. i really appreciate it a lot. please do leave more comments/criticisms and don't hold back

peace,
bong
