This past Friday, the 15th of August, my fiance and I attended an opening reception at the Napa Valley Museum. From now until mid-September there's a special exhibit on the art of manga.
About late June or early July, I submitted a print to the Nichi Bei Times manga cover art contest. The winner of the contest had their print grace the cover of the Nichi Bei's manga issue. Unfortunately I did not get 1st place, but, I did get second. Anyhow, all the finalists were invited to submit up to 4 pieces to show at the Napa Valley Museum's exhibit on manga art.

It's still a bit strange, but very cool to see my work on walls. Anyhow here's the four pieces I submitted:
