DESPERATELY SEEKING A COMIC/JAPANESE EXPERT! DESPERATELY!
« on: April 05, 2008, 02:01:53 am »
This seemed like the best place to ask so:

I'm doing my senior project on Manga translation and one requirement is that I have a mentor for my actual project piece. So now I am desperately looking for someone who is/can refer me to a translator, japanese teacher, comic artist, comic editor, some guy who spends a ridiculous amount of time around comics, etc., in the Portland/Vancouver area.

There isn't a huge commitment: know my project, check my progress every once in a while, write a short statement about it, then go to a project presentation (it's not even an hour long).

Please help me out here! If I don't get a mentor, I don't graduate, and that would be super lame. Hey, if you can give some assistance, I might just give you a free copy of my comic ^^

When you list your description, is that with a "and" or a "or"?  (Japanese teacher and/or comic artist and/or translator, etc.)

There's a girl nicknamed Tally who draws a comic called "Out of Place."  Here's a website.

She's from Portland but I don't know if she's in Portland.

Your welcome.
Like superjaz said, that's going to be a little difficult.  I won't be able to attend the con until 2009 (hopefully).

Scary, but not helpful.

Is there anyone at PSU she could talk to?

Try my Japanese teacher. She's stellar at this sort of thing, and she sponsors an anime club on campus.
