Pokémon also known as Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター, Poketto
Monsuta) in Japan is a franchise owned by Nintendo. Pokémon was
conceived by video game designer and Game Freak, Inc founder Satoshi Tajiri. As
a child, Satoshi was fascinated by insects, and would often collect them. His
love of bugs made him want to pursue a career as an entomologist. When he got
into the video game business he wanted to have a game that would, in a way,
recreate the feelings he had of catching, and collecting bugs. It has been said
that the character Ash Ketchum is based on Satoshi Tajiri’s childhood. For the most
part, this sounds really freakin’ weird. Since Pokémon was introduced to
Western culture, it has grossed approximately $16 Billion worldwide. Pokémon
has also garnered criticism from various religious groups for what has been
considered glorification of occultism, and violence. In November of 1999, a boy
from Quebec was stabbed to death for his set of Pokémon cards. There have been
countless other murders over Pokémon cards and reports of children even being
raped for their cards. Let’s not forget about the one Episode of Pokémon that
causes seizures. What kind of evil is this? I couldn’t really afford Pokémon
cards as a child, but there was this kid in science class who had all the best
cards. I would save up my lunch money just to get new cards so I could speak to
her. How did that work out? She is now a bald- headed scally wag with serious
camel toe, and has like three kids. Though the evil of Pokémon has ruined many
lives, it also did some good too. Recently a conversation with a relative
inspired me to reflect back on the phenomenon known as Pokémon. He said “I
always wanted a friend like that” referring to the loveable mouse character
known as Pikachu. Now the relative I’m referring to is revered as one of the
biggest thugs in New York City. How can a nerdy little cartoon like that get to
a stone cold killer? MF DOOM said it best: “We all need food.” No matter if
it’s food for thought, food for the body, or food for the soul. Pokémon indeed
inspired evil acts, but it also was a vehicle for people to realize the good in
themselves and others. The Pokémon theme song to me is one of the most
inspirational songs ever:
I've posted comic books before, but up to this point they've only been ones that Ive played a role in creating... This my friends, is a book published by Image comics that simply blew my mind and not because it introduced me to any new theories, but simply because it got published. This book takes a unique approach to unraveling the confusion of 911, and surprisingly remains a pretty interesting sci-fi comic book. I RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL COMIC READERS!! I also recommend this to anyone who thinks conspiracy theorists are idiots, lames, or whatever else your calling the brave thinkers these days...
Ive been hard at work since moving out here to NYC... Amongst the web, logo, and apparel designs Ive managed to fit my FAV illustration medium in the mix... Comics... So far Ive worked on 3 comic books(2 of which are TOP SECRET! lol). One has just now hit the shelves... MASTERNEVER & The Flow of Death(www.masternever.com). So far the Collector preview version is available, in which I handled cover design(front & back) and Art Director responsibilities. The next version will drop after Comic-Con NYC and will feature a full chapter illustrated by yours truly, as long as things move as planned.
