Hi, I'm really really interested in a shirt. But I'm moving from Japan to Texas and it takes a long time. Can I pay now and you can ship later? Is there a medium left?

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for noticing the art. It's strange to think that when I drew the first page nine months ago it was the first time I had attempted to draw in over ten years and now it's something I do everyday. Every time I finish a new batch of pages I hate the old batch that is currently being posted, I guess that's progress.

Thanks again, can't wait to see mother and son swimming together again next week.

Thanks man. Yeah, this has been a real ride. AquariumDrinking will definitely keep growing as long as you stick to it and keep spreading the word about it. It's really cool to see how much you have learned and grown as an artist since you started.

being too close to a project sucks and definitely can hurt it. one of the greatest benefits of school is the critique to get you to rethink things. once you're out you lose that. I bet on some subconscious level, you created this blog for that sort of reflection on your work to help your process.

you have a lot of good instincts (like designing your comic in spreads like an actual publication instead of single pages like most comics)

one thing that i learned from working on all those big art books was that its best to get all the content in there, then start editing. Everything always dictates what everything else needs and once you can step back, you can really see what you have and what design choices you need to make.

I've enjoyed seeing both reMind grow in popularity. I remember way back when I started reading reMind (back when it was about an inventor girl and her cat) and you were only getting a hundred times the hits that I was, to think that in such a short time the sites popularity has grown to a million times the hits I get, it makes me want to hit you… I mean, every reader is well deserved, congrats!

Makes sense. I do work in movies but I've never been evolved with more than just the initial art. But now that you mention it they do the color timing at the end (where they adjust the final colors).

Thanks for keeping me thinking the right way about this. I'm so close to it that I sometimes don't apply things I should already know assuming it's not the same. Wow, did that make sense?

These things gain a kind of critical mass after a certain point, it seems! I'm thrilled that your work is getting the recognition it deserves. A lot of the very best in graphic arts flies under the radar, and it is always good to see it emerging into greater recognition. It's very well deserved, I've said so from the start!
