Cute, self-contained little comic artist wannabe wank.
The Pseudome studio projects message boards are an occasionally informative, occasionaly (mildly) wanky place in which "OEL" artists (non-Japanese artists who draw "manga style") gather and discuss the comics industry, give critiques, etc. It's quite a popular board, as several artists currently making books for TokyoPop post there, so it's not unusual for less experienced artists to go there and seek advice, encouragement and what-have-you.
The number of power hitters is presumably what drew Wesley Campbell to the board, though what possessed him to start off his posting career (not to mention his artistic career) with "I am Wesley Campbell, manga artist extraordinaire. I say extraordinaire because my manga work is exceptional. ... I have been drawing mangas for most of my life and it is nothing to me. Manga work comes easy to me as breathing and each day I am only becoming better. I have never officially working in the manga feild before but I have done some freelance manga work for an online "Secret of Mana" MMORPG. This is the start of a new year and I am determined to become a manga artist officially and have children imitate my art work", I'll never know.
Predictably, the other posters immediately question his... extraordinary-ness; in response Wesley complains about their "sassy attitude". The thread got started a couple months ago, then died down until Wesley came back to revive it with his new, improved drawing skills, not to mention more wank, until a mod finally locked the thread a day or so ago.
I just love the smell of hubris in the morning.
