Winter Con 2023

I applied for it more than half a year ago and completely forgot about it, but I got an e-mail today and realized it. ← Idiot.

 

I will be attending WinterCon 2023!

I'm a little scared that I'll be completely lonely at the event because it seems to be a kind of American Heroes/Heroines type event.

I'm going to be easy hahaha.

 

Please come to Artists Alley if you have a chance. I'm looking forward to meeting new people.

Rica Takashima’s short profile as a Manga artist

 

In 1995, Rica started drawing the semi-autobiographical Manga portraying everyday lives of lesbians, in Japan’s premier lesbian magazine at that time. She struggled with her sexuality since her young age, but there were no movies/novels with themed positive lesbian stories even in 1980s. Her questions towards traditional Japanese patriarchal family values and discrimination against LGBT motivated her to start to draw conceptual Manga to public. Her project Manga book was published in 2003 and 2012 in English and Japanese, and Italian version in 2011. After she immigrated to the US with her family in 2008, she collaborates her work with Pride March, NewFEST LGBT film festival, and other diverse organizations.

She also created illustrations of We Can Do It! series, which encourages women in diversity. She sells cards, pins, tote, etc. with illustrations of diverse girls such as Afro girl, Hispanic girl, Hijab girl, FtM, Asian girl, and Braid girl.

I was planning to make “thin book”, but I gave up. My bad. 

But I made stickers from the We can Do It! series.



I also made some additions to "Where Is Here?" the thin book I made in the summer.

 

This time I'll just relax and not try too hard.
