I came up with the concept of The Leftwind back in 2011. I had drawn this art piece that depicted a young boy and his mechanical frog sibling for a benefit to help the victims of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The good news is that the art piece actually sold, however I did not get to expand on the concept of these characters until several years later. I have always wanted to world build and create colorful characters based on the influences of my childhood. I remember how exciting it was to fill up a bowl with some kind of sugary cereal and catch the Saturday morning cartoons. That is the intention of The Leftwind series. I am hoping each episode will capture that feeling I had as a kid and allow the reader to join in on the adventures with these characters. I think it will be interesting to see my art evolve during this journey.
