Name: Justin Raimey
Interests: I'm typically just a manga and video game kind of guy.
Influences: I was heavily influenced to make a comedy manga by Kiyohiko Azuma's "Auzmanga Daioh", which is still my favorite manga since high school. I have to say Mine Yoshizaki [Sgt. Frog creator] is responsible for my art style, although I don't draw like him. Yoshizaki's art is so awesome (to my standards) that I just had to make a manga of my own.
Description: I have been into art ever since I was in elementary school , and that art was mostly me drawing video game and cartoon characters. In the 2nd grade I was creating Sonic the Hedgehog and Ninja Turtles books. I didn't start making comic books until I was 8 years old, and those projects were never finished. Anime started to become a hobby of mine at a young age. I didn't even know I was watching anime when I first started; I just knew I liked the stories and the art styles. After a number of years I started to draw anime all of the time and soon developed my own style. My style was influenced by great manga artist and video games, but on occasion people tend to think I'm a girl because of how I draw. I graduated from college with a degree in criminal justice. I love art, but I didn't want to go to school for it. Creating unique characters and randomizing comedy is what I do.
Name: Terry L Raimey
Interests: Martial arts, comic books, criminal justice, traveling, cooking, eating, video games, African-American history, weight lifting, music, Japanese and Korean culture
Influences: My work is heavily influenced by the general themes found in the Holy Bible, as well as themes of fantasy found in Greek mythology. I also draw much inspiration from African-American civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Frederick Douglass, and Eldridge Cleaver. I've always been a big comic book guy; Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball) and Stan Lee (the father of Marvel Comics) are among my favorite action/fantasy story tellers.
Description: I first discovered my love for writing at a young age. I've always had a crazy imagination and I wrote numerous short stories in school and in my free time, all of which drew heavily from my love of action, adventure, and fantasy influences. I've always been a big super hero comic book fan, but once I officially established the fact that I stink at drawing, I decided to stick strictly to writing. I am a U.S. Air Force veteran, I received my bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, and I've been blessed to have seen many things that most Americans never get to see in their entire lifetime, but writing and creating new worlds is something that I love to do.
