One of my good friends is a successful comic artist in the manga style: Tavi
tavi
She and I have been friends since the nineties, and I am blessed to call her an outstanding confidante and advisor. She is married to Rikki Simons, better known as none other than the voice of Gir from Invader Zim! I have also been friends with him since before he became Gir. They are both down to earth people who have not let celebrity status go to their heads.
Quick, quick, buy Tavi sketches! You know you want to!
