edit data

He's always had a fondness for different types of fantasy, having grown up on superhero cartoons, action and horror movies and anime. As he got older, he branched out, discovering more works in these and many other categories, including various forms of Hong Kong cinema, exploitation cinema, science fiction (especially cyberpunk and dystopian tales), various subgenres of horror, and what he considers the 'golden age' of action films, all of which have heavily influenced his imagination and writing/drawing style.

Hello, 2024. Last year was so busy, I forgot to update my blog here (LOL).
