EVACOMICS BLOG

One of my acquaintance was an organiser for an animation festival in China, so I was invited to represent Singapore for their IP business matching and exhibition.

This year's Anime Festival Asia is quite different because the Creators Hub is tucked away at a corner. In the past, it's located at the back of the hall along with the commercial booths.

Having a booth at convention is always a time of test... a time to test memory...

Many times we buy things not because we need them but because we imagined what we may become by using it ... (but end up not using it, haha)

Recently, Facebook updated the algorithm again to further limit our reach to readers. Over the years, many people had complained that they don't see my comics anymore and thought I've stopped! But in fact, I still upload a new comic strip every Monday! But of course, if you subscribed to my blog, you are safe and still updated with the latest comic! Here I compiled the list of social media channels that I run that you can follow besides the evil Facebook: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/evacomics This is where I post my comics first and respond to all messages. Line Web Toons: http://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/evacomics/list?title_no=125143 Opened this new channel recently and run by my young fan :) Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/evacomics/ I've been using the Instagram stories a lot but I think it may become evil and greedy like its big brother in the future. Twitter:  https://twitter.com/evacomics Sometimes the tweet limit can be limiting... maybe tha

Because my previous guide "Where to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo", was an all-time hit with 30,000 page views, I decided to do an updated version for all illustrators who are planning to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo.

I always wondered how a "real" mangaka teaches so I signed up for a 2-hour workshop with Yazawa Nao sensei, the artist of Wedding Peach at Manga School Nakano .

Unlike your typical kimono shoots, Studio Nanairo at Asakusa provides glamorous transformation into maiko or oiran (courtesan) in a studio environment or you can pay extra for street shots! *Disclaimer: This was a self-funded trip to provide non-bias review of experiences for my blog and/or new comic book. I do not get any money in return for recommendations.

I'm working on my 4th book now and one of the chapters is about Cosplay in Japan. So I decided to pay for my own trip and packages (special thanks to my fans at Patreon too) to write and draw an unbiased review about each experience. I never cosplayed before so I was enthusiastic about the "Perfect Anime Costume" package, which cost 15,000yen or around US$140.

For my foreign fans: ERP means Electronic Road Price, which is a gantry that our government installs to deduct fees for entering certain roads to reduce congestion at certain town areas. MRT is our subway system, and it breaks down often. Honestly do you buy those fancy Halloween candies or chocolates for yourself or give away? :P

Although sometimes the waiter/waitress will recommend their signature dish... Is there anybody out there who had never asked this question before?

I do feel like a hamster storing extra food that I don't need, because just in case... I booked ANA instead of Singapore Airline this time for my trip to Japan because of the extra checked in luggage allowance, hope I don't blow it this time!

In Southeast Asia, you will get tanned due to the strong sun. In Japan, you will be tempted to buy a lot of things back. In Korea, you do not need to put on make-up when you leave the hotel because you can just go into any cosmetic shop to try the products and they will put it on for you for free~

Not sure if the body works like a cloth filled with fats, I could twist these out of the body for a slimmer waist!

Very happy to return after a year to Kinokuniya to do my book signing again! 😊

I usually can get well within a week if I catch a cold or flu. But maybe because I was exhausted during STGCC and then everything came so it is taking me around 2 weeks to recover...

Sometimes it's given to kids or nieces/nephews...

My latest book "Eva, Kopi and Matcha 2.0" (aka. EKM2.0) made it on time for STGCC (Singapore Toy Game and Comic Convention) this year so I rented a expensive booth  table there. Because of that, I was also invited to be in a panel to talk about the local comics scene along with Dan Wong (A Good Citizen), Derrick Chew (DCWJ) and WaHa (CDS).

One goes down and another one comes up... Are those aloe vera cream good for removing scars?

Chaturanga is a yoga pose by going into plank first, then bend your elbows while keeping it close to the body... nothing else touches the ground except for hands and toes... hold there for a few breaths, ouch... I have a pear shape body so I have difficulty doing arm balances because of my heavy bottom and narrow shoulders. Chaturanga is therefore difficult for me as well since it relies on the shoulder strength while keeping the belly in... well... supposedly in. On the other hand, inversions feel like I'm trying to lift a bunch of fats while I'm upside down...
