Some people hate calling my work "manga". As a matter of fact, many anime fans outright refuse to make such an association. They say my work is "ugly" and "too simple" or "too western".
That's partially because my work ISN'T entirely manga. There is also a lot of Western Cultural Symbolism and elements there. From Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill to Sin City and Johnny The Homicidal Maniac.
I go with what LOOKS GOOD. Not style conformity.
I take a lot of influence from the Japanese, but I'm not out to "prove" I'm Japanese, because I'm not. I'm American. But I'm not "inferior" to the Japanese in any way either. I love Japan, but I'm not out to prove I'm "from Japan" or "am Japanese" in anyway (like some wannabe creators do) either.
Okay. I'm nice and sweet again.
