MAKOTO TSUKAI

(Makoto was one of the earliest fans of the Megazeen, an immediate cheerleader that rallied to our cause and pumped us up.  It was a pleasure to finally receive her official submission.  And usually I rewrite these bios, but nobody says it perkier than Makoto herself.  I'm betting the best way to read this is in one continuous sentence without breathing...)

my Bio type thingy:

I'm 21 years old, born and raised in South Carolina (we're not all hicks and rednecks, by the way ^_^). Although living in the "Holy City" of the "Bible Belt," I didn't accept Jesus Christ until age 15. I've been drawing comics for myself since I was 7 years old, but it wasn't until age 18 that God told me to use my love for comics to His glory.  Since then, God has given me several ideas for Christian comic book series and it's my dream to start my own Christian comic book company.  The Megazeen will be the first time any of my comics have been published, but in the future I plan to self-publish my works and sell them locally and online. I'll be graduating from college in August of 2002 and that's when I want to get this baby started! I thank God so much for bringing me to the Megazeen. Before I heard about it, I had never seen any Christian comics.  I only knew of one in existence. It's wonderful to know that there are so many other Christian brothers and sisters with the same vision that God has given me.  Comics are an entertaining, beautiful, and non-pushy way to spread God's good word throughout the world.  By taking advantage of this fantastic art form, we can do great things through Jesus Christ.  Denouncing the stuffy, judgmental, controlling, uptight image of Christians that the world often sees and showing all people that following Jesus is fun is a most excellent way to bring people to God's kingdom and help fellow believers keep the faith. This approach can probably be best achieved through comics. ...anyone can email me at Makototsukai@dogomania.com
