Happy new year!

On the Chinese animal zodiac, it’s the year of the golden pig. So that means I’ll be turning 36 this year...time really flies.

2007... George Orwell’s story of a totalitarian society takes place in the year 1984. The date in which Arthur C. Clarke’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” occurs has passed, and Osamu Tezuka’s classic robot, “Tetsuwan Atom,” was supposedly created in 2003. These “near future” stories are already in the past, so we’ll need to make sure there are more to come (although my first series will probably “occur” in the distant past).

As far as manga related stuff goes, this year, Adobe will come out with a new version of their graphic software suite that will run natively on my Intel Mac. I’m looking forward to that helping my projects, which will focus on finishing up the math manga book and incubating ideas for my future manga series.

But the biggest thing coming up this year, of course, will be the baby. To help preserve the memories, I’ll be getting into videography, which may also serve as baby steps towards getting into the movie industry. I will also be making use of the photography techniques I’ve been picking up over the past two years.

I’ll keep updating you with details as the year goes along.

Here’s to a great new year!
