I was introduced to this site through the admin team a while ago and was at home though i would give it a go.
I use to be into anime in a big way about 15 years ago, when anime uk was first being published along with manga mania, but after having a collection of about 90 videos and running out of money, decided it was hard to keep going. I was about 15 at the time.
I wanted to get into the animation side of thing and remember i use to trace the image onto clear film and colour them in like the film cells, but who ever i went for guidance to get onto the animation scene kept saying you need to goto university and then do a seven year course after a design course and you be lucky if you had a job after !
Times have certainly changed.
Since then moved onto a large colletcion of comics which still need to be sorted, and sci fi series.
By the way I am looking for Superman Comics with the small triangles on the cover which lasted a few years. They use to point in the direction of storylines.
Other than my main job I do freelance graphics mainly with photoshop and trying to start my printing company again. After my business partner decided to go work for our main competion, and sell the client list to them. ( Nice Guy )
