Expect it to get revised a thousand times and be ready for the possibility that it won't get approved or that it might get approved, but for some reason it won't ever see the light of day. So, it is always a joy to work on a project that gets approval on the first pass and in every single stage of the project, client is just happy with the work and they say, "Ok! Go!"

Thank you for letting us hang out at that one corner of your booth and for allowing us to sell TRESE. When Emman invited us and said we were going to their “guest stars”, I assumed there would be other “guests”. (Well, there were musical guests, lots of bands played before the cosplay event-- which was what everyone was waiting for). I just thought there would other comic book creators would also be on stage and we’d all talk about making comic books. As it turned out we were it. Just me and Kajo on stage with the hosts. I looked out into the crowd and thought, “99.99% percent of these people are here for the cosplay and anime and manga. Will they really be interested in our book which isn’t really manga?” Thankfully, the hosts had some questions at hand and that prevented us from having any dead air. Then there were the four very nice people also went up to the
