Mangaka America by SteelRiver Studio.

Mangaka America is an art, interview plus tutorial book on American Manga artists. Now I profess that I don’t know much about comics, much less Manga: but the artworks (many never-before-seen) are fantastic!

This one above is by Jesse Philips, who specializes in drawing giant robots. And I don’t understand what he means by "Bean Jam Ball Feeling Being Good!" but that’s my new motto!

Bean Jam Ball Feeling Being Good! sounds like a good bit of made up Engrish to me.

Words to live by, though. Words to live by.

“Bean Jam Ball Feeling Being Good” is a prime example of Japanese pop culture. Often times, designers and artists in Japan use English because it looks cool, not because of any meaning, in art, on t-shirts, etc.

I does sound like something out of an 80s after-school show.

BEAN!
JAM!
BALL!

Feelin’, Bein’, GOOD!
