Not been on here for a while, but now Im back.

Southern Japan in spring is so beautiful, for a Scottish man from cold Northern Europe it feels like being on holiday in the sun in the beaches of Spain or the narrow pretty streets of Italy - everyday!

I've been working away on my various books:

- 'Hagakure' for Kodansha in Tokyo is going well, I've ben coming up with some pretty good ways to visualise this historical book, and its a buzz t come up with good creative ideas, right?

- My comic book version of 'Buskers' is now 100% finished, and the soundtrack for the film version is now being recorded by Damon Alburn, from the band BLUR. Groovy...

- 'The Story of Lee', set in HK, is about half done now, i attach some pages from it here - its set specifically mostly in Chai wan! Those of you who know that area will spot many real local places in it, like Chai Wan park and Ken's cafe.

- 'AX collection' book is just over half done. I was 'chuffed' last month to see the US publisher's press release that has my name right next to my childhood comic book influences like Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, who they are also publishing this year. Amazing to think that I am now within the same publishing house as my childhood heroes!

Hugs,
Sean Michael

Ha, another take on the whole "When I was your age we walked to school in snow barefoot uphill both ways..."

***************************************
The types of subjects I tackle are normally mature stories: biographical, historical, slice of life, though sometimes also fantastical stuff, especially magickal stories. I have worked with various excellent professional artists (such as Sakura Mizuki of the popular RING horror series and Mike Collins, art on Superman, Batman and Harry Potter, etc).

I am currently making inroads towards being published in Japanese also - in fact my first Japanese manga comes out on 'keitai' June 2008. Living in Japan means that I am obviously in a good place to create manga stories, working directly with Japanese artists.

ショーン・マイケル・ウィルソンは、スコットランドの首都エジンバラの出身であり、現在は日本に在住し活動している。グラフィッィク・ノベル「ANGEL OF THE WOODS」、「CHIMPIRA （MANGA MOVER）」、アワードを受賞作である“詩漫画”　「BEAUTIFUL THINGS」、「YAOI Volume One」「A Christmas carol」「Iraq Operation Corporate takeover」のライターである。　
幼少の頃から、コミックブックを書くことは彼の夢であった。初めて出版された作品は１９９８年、ロンドンの大規模なコミックアートエキシビジョンにて展示された。
「THE JAPANESE DRAWING ROOM」は英国の美術館"Bournemouth"と共同で製作された。
「Iraq Operation Corporate takeover」は英国のチャリティー団体 War on Wantと共に出版された。
