Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description
easier & check out links for this episode!





This month, I’m making my long overdue return to my “Creative
Conversations” series! In these episodes, I’ll be talking to
people in various creative fields making things today who were
greatly inspired by anime & manga, and are using that
inspiration today to make cool things! This time, I’m talking to
illustrator, artist, and comic creator Laura Watton, who has been
self-publishing her manga-inspired comic Biomecha in
the UK since 1995! Listen as we discuss Laura’s influences, what
the comic scene in the UK is like versus the American, and how it
felt growing up as an anime & manga fan in the UK during the
80s & 90s.
