Japanese Animation and Comic Book Art. The New Status Quo Rock and Roll of American Art

Being an American artist and sketching Japanese anime and manga drawings is the new normal. Anime-influenced comic books is the new normal. That's how everyone draws now. It's normal. It's then new status quo to draw in the anime style on paper with a pencil or ink. Definitely makes things a bit easier to get done when it's like that, when it's not in the minority. With American artists my age, anime is the majority. Not the minority.

Teachers and parents hated rock and roll, The Beatles, and Elvis too, when the Beatles and Elvis first got big. Now rock music is so ubiquitous, it influences almost all other genres.
