Hi again

Not sure if you remember me but I was in your Manga workshop at the London Expo with my friend. I just want to thank you for your kind words and your encouragement today.. It was a real confidence boost for the both of us

I bought your Chemical Blue manga as well~ Keep doing what you're doing! You have amazing work

Moth me and my mum really enjoyed it~ Thank goodness for articles in the newspapers!

Nahh~ That's ok. If I need to get in touch for tips or anothing to help I will email you.
I don't have twitter sadly. XD But still, I'm glad to meet a manga artist in the flesh.

Anytime - just ask away ^^ Out of interest, which newspaper did you see the event advertised - was it the Hunts Post?
I'll have another event in November that I need to publisize A LOT and it'd be nice to know I can rely on that newspaper again!

Freakova In reply to irinarichards [2011-10-08 17:51:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
It was the hunts post. It was more of an article/advert.

Oh really? May I ask what the event will be on and where?
Yes, if it wasn't for the HP, we wouldn't have known about it. :-0

irinarichards In reply to Freakova [2011-10-08 18:27:17 +0000 UTC]

The event will be on Saturday November 12th, at Bottisham Village College - a full-day one ^^ (10 am until 4pm) The details are still being finalised, but I was going to start promoting it BIG TIME after the half term holiday (so you heard it here first ^^)
Before that, I'm doing a free drop-in session in Swavesey on Saturday 22nd October, and an workshop in St. Neots (same as today) on Thursday 27th October.
The best place to keep up with my events (and those of other Sweatdrop Studios artists!) is Sweatdrop Studios' events page here: [link] I try and update it quite regularly ^^ Btw, Sweatdrop Studios website is a great place to keep up with what's going on on UK manga scene. You can join the forums here: [link] Hope that helps to find out about events in the future ^^

Freakova In reply to irinarichards [2011-10-08 18:33:49 +0000 UTC]

ahh, I feel rather special hearing it first.
Thank you for telling me; it would be really nice to attempt something on this form of art that doesn't evolve other my school work. It is getting very stressful at the moment and the workshop helped me to recharge on other arts I do.

I hope to draw some manga artwork to submit on here too; like my own characters and such.

I will, It will definatly be of some help. Thank you so much, again!

Спасибо Да, тут много чего произошло, переезд + работа над одним проектом (надеюсь, скоро он будет закончен и можно будет про него рассказать ), но Chemical Blue тоже рисую потихоньку Как только наберётся н-ное количество страниц "впрок", начну выкладывать.

I'm looking for an artist to create a possible 15 chapter manga 3-4 chapters per book send me an email if interested mabandtab@gmail.com.
Hopefully for free unless the manga is good enough to expect people to pay for it then we can discuss a partnership
