	GIO CG artist ( Looking for an agent!) Gio Medina	Alright bro! I'm so glad you've been accepted by a Japanese publisher! I knew it would happen SOMETIME to SOMEONE! And I'm SO glad it was you :) I've actually been wanting to move to CHina to do some manga for some CHinese manga companies there :) I know a girl that lives there and she offered to help me out. Offered me a place to stay and she wants to help translate Eternal for me :) So it'll be available in Mandarin CHinese, English AND Spanish :) ( gotta represent for my latinos ya know? lol) You should stop by my page sometime, my work is alot different since you last saw :) I've changed my manga style to somethin more detailed. Well, stay up homie. Maybe I'll swim over from CHina in the future so we can paint downtown Tokyo red! lol Stay up bro. And good luck :) One. :)-GIO   Posted by GIO CG artist ( Looking for an agent!) on Saturday, June 21, 2008 - 4:35 PM [Reply to this]

	Tom	Hell yeah, Dude! NEW CHOMIX!!! I just went to the Japanese Book store near me, and they didn't have it yet, so I told them to order some copies. Then I called Kinokuniya and spoke with the dude at the counter. He was like, "Oh yeah, Felipe...I was wondering why he hasn't come in here, in a while. He's a cool dude." HAHA, so they are ordering some, too. I don't think it hit the states yet, but I am making the rounds and getting the stores to order them. In other news, have you seen this review of your work, by Jason Thompson? He's one of the best-known manga critics in the US and currently writes for Otaku USA, and is the author of Manga: The Complete Guide. http://www.comixology.com/articles/77/Five-Good-Things-about-Felipe-Smiths-I-MBQ-i-And-One-Bad-Thing-   Posted by Tom on Sunday, June 22, 2008 - 12:58 AM [Reply to this]
