wow guys! im amazed at how active and passionate people are on this forum...i guess i underestimated the power of forum communication :P

anyways, just to clear up some confusion on this topic. I actually just wanted to know if there are anyone who is willing to draw their own series and possibly have it published. I know in japan, there are people who wants to become mangakas and would jump at any opportunity to debut, im just curious if there are other people out there who are willing to do that given the opportunity. (i know i would, but i cant draw to save my own life lol).

As for my perspective on art, i think the discussion were off-track but definitely worth it. "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so if you consider something is art, then it is art to you, of course there are differences in opinion depending on everyone's personal experience, so what is art and what isnt art isnt so black and white. i can judge works, i may not like it, but i sometimes still regard it as a piece of work, it just doesn't suit my taste thats all.

just a question. what you guys think about the way non-japanese artists approach manga, or how "western" people perceive manga as a source of entertainment?

P.S. glad you guys replied with passion! keep it up!
