Posting may be a bit light over the next few days, as we’re taking a bit of time off to work around the house. Yesterday’s lesson learned: You can’t learn how to putty windows from an article on the internet.
However, there are plenty of good articles today. Chris Arrant’s interviews artist Jae-Hwan Kim for his people column on the Tokyopop site. Kim has been a manwha-ga for some time and also served in the army, where he learned Taekwando, which he says helps with the fight scenes.
