JET alum Lars Martinson<\/strong><\/a>, author of the graphic novel Tonoharu:\u00a0 Part 1<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, is not only currently studying East Asian calligraphy in Ehime-ken, he wants to write a comic book about his experience.\u00a0 And he’s in the process of seeking funding to help make this happen.<\/p>\n

If you’ve seen Tonoharu:\u00a0 Part 1<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, you know that “comic book” barely does justice to Lars’ sophisticated and detailed drawing style.\u00a0 And having won a Monbusho Scholarship to help him fund the production of Tonoharu:\u00a0 Part 1<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Lars knows a thing or two about getting funding (as further demonstrated in a previous blog post<\/a> titled “How to Apply for a Monbusho Scholarship<\/a>“).<\/p>\n

\"LarsTonoharu\"<\/a>That said, it’s never easy getting funding and income as an artist\/illustrator.\u00a0 (See, e.g., Lars’ recent post on adapting his drawing style<\/a> for professional and practical purposes.)\u00a0 So if anyone can provide any assistance or leads to help Lars with funding, please feel free to get in touch with him at blog [at] larsmartinson [dot] com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

For information about Lars, you can read his blog at http:\/\/larsmartinson.com<\/strong><\/a>. You can also read a nice article about Lars<\/a><\/strong> from the Winter 2008 \u201cDigital Media\u201d Issue of the JETAA NY Newsletter<\/strong><\/a>, written by Alexei Esikoff<\/strong><\/a> (Fukushima-ken, 2001-02).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
