Jamie Lano
Artist

Japan

Hi! My name is Jamie, and:

I am an assistant artist on "Shin Tennis no Oujisama", which currently runs in JUMP SQ magazine in Japan. I draw backgrounds, background people, objects, uniforms, etc (whatever is needed), and do designs here and there as well for the manga. I've worked for Konomi-sensei since the planning-stage of Shin-Tenipuri (Sept '08). He is an interesting boss, to say the least.

I am working on various ideas for my own comic, and hope to make my manga debut as a real mangaka soon, instead of just an assitant!

I also do regular work in tv/writing in Japan.

By the way, I am an American, as white as can be, and moved to Japan on a whim (I wanted to start a new life for myself) after graduating college in 2004. I didn't know a word of Japanese at the time.

So if I can do it, SO CAN YOU! Maybe I'm a bit of a romanticist, but that's just how I am. Good luck, and let me know your thoughts and feelings too!

I have a livejournal which I update frequently here:

And recently I have been using twitter as well:
