Aloha! Here's my Calabash comic in today's Honolulu @staradvertiser newspaper! • I grew up with the Japanese superhero Kikaida and it's amazing how several generations have embraced it in Hawaii 🙂 •Designing the monsters is already a concept I do in GORDON RIDER: the Comic, but it's fun to have a more local twist on them. Toei is the company that produced Kikaida. •Have a great weekend, all! 🙂 • Check out the New Year's 'Ohana Festival at Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai'i today! 10a-4p (*FREE event.
