Just a quick message to everyone. I got back from my final tour event Monday, totally exhausted. I will do a two-part Con Report next week detailing my US tour and also explaining the differences between a US con and a Japanese comic event like Comic Market. I got a lot of questions from people on the subject and I think you all will be surprised to hear how totally different they are.
I have a deadline coming up this weekend as well as an interview. I might post the next set of FaLLEN pages this Friday, but if not they will go up next week. Still behind on emails, notes, messages, etc.
Totally crazy month and a half, guys. Lots of things happened while I was out of Japan (delay on dakimakura cases... for the DUMBEST reason, error on book jacket though easily fixable if I return them, etc). I still have to get out Kickstarter rewards, do the PDF, etc. Was asked to do a huge translation job that just happened to coincide with the tour. I'm pooped.
I expect my schedule to be weird until September. By then things should even out. Totally underestimated how rough things would be this summer with the tour and such, but slowly getting back on my feet. Will update Kickstarter blog this weekend.
Big changes to Patreon, website, and new schedule for the comic. My job will be FaLLEN Only from September onward. I cannot wait!
For now, enjoy an unboxing video of the new printing of FaLLEN I posted on Patreon for anyone to see. Witness the failures of my life.

Livestreaming Art on Twitch!
About to finish up an illustration I started last weekend. If you want to join me, I will be adding shadows and other touch ups as I watch Blue Brothers. Also, holy hell. This is the first time I've tried to make a journal entry on the new dA and it's such a hot mess... http://twitch.tv/ogawaburukku
Covid-19 Lurks, Stay Safe!
I'm not on DeviantART much anymore (who is, though, right?) but I thought I'd say hi.
I was about to come off hiatus... my kid was supposed to start daycare next week (hurray!) and I have my own studio space now, but of course we're all going through a pandemic, so who knows what will happen. I'm pretty upset about this, since I had really been looking forward to going back to working on FaLLEN, but it is what it is. Japan has not been hit as hard as other places, especially my area, but that may only be a matter of a time before we're all on lockdown. I just got back from the US and I've cancelled any plans to do conventions for the rest of
Oh, Birthday Wishes!
Oh man! I feel like a jerk. I had my version of dA set to the new Eclipse setting and wow, I completely missed all of your birthday wishes until today when I switched it back.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who wished me well. Even though it was over a month ago :p
2019 Convention Schedule, Website
Some of you may have noticed I've been arting again. Huzzah! It feels good to be working. My kid finally goes to bed at a decent time in her own room and it leaves my evenings free to work on my projects. I've been working on FaLLEN as well but I'm so rusty it's been slow going.
I am currently in the US and will be selling and guesting at a few conventions this month. FaLLEN vol. 1 and 2 will be available as well as quite a bit of FaLLEN merchandise. I didn't update my prints catalogue for fan art unfortunately, but I think I will have quite a few new additions next time I do this. For now, here is my schedule:
Anime Midwest
Date: July 5-7
