Neo Magazine

Sweatdrop Studios are proud to present a series of "Manga Workshops" that are regularly published in Neo Magazine, the UK's leading "asian culture" publication.

So far I have collaborated with other Sweatdrop artists for a step-by-step guide to creating your own original manga-styled comic page and created a tutorial that explains and demonstrates the use of screentone (small dots) in manga artwork.

One of the 5 winners of the 2006 Neo UK Manga Competition

In late September 2006, my short comic, "Sea Bream Dream", was published in Issue 24 as I luckily won a place in Neo Magazine's 2006 Manga Competition! This made me extremely happy and proud of what I have continually been doing in the UK manga scene, as for the past 13 years I have never won a competition for my manga-styled artwork. Thank you, Neo! I am honoured. And thank you Sweatdrop, for my comics output would have dwindled severely, should the group not have formed in the first place.
