To put it politely, 2025, like it's predecessor, wasn't the kindest year. However there were still plenty of shining moments, especially in the last quarter.
During this annual visit home to the States, I have thrown a number of events where I have garnered many new friends and fans of my work. Physical copies of my manga series Love or Duty have been selling like hotcakes, and I have gotten so much positive feedback which has given me renewed strength and inspiration.
I have also spread the word about the Isaiah Bradley Project as promo shirts, hats, and posters have been subjects of adoration. Brushing up the original story with reminiscent, yet refreshed dialogue has been quite educational and enjoyable as I have also been doing more research into the time period that the story takes place in. As I polish the first chapter script, I am looking forward to incorporating the historical knowledge I have absorbed into the upcoming chapters.
With the success of my popup events and seeing the joy of each of my fans, new and old, I plan to take on 2026 with this current rolling momentum. As an artist, it is both my love and my duty! I wish all of you a blessed 2026, and I hope that all of your wishes and efforts come to fruition.
