Majory Yokomizo
In a sentence, who are you and what do you do?
I’m a comic book artist that loves fantasy and the contemplation of life.
What got you started? Was there a specific moment or time when you realised “this is what I want to do”?
In my childhood my main play was making comics, but all my life I was seeking to be an illustrated books artist. Then, in 2018 I made a comic called “Ralo” (Drain) and I realized making comics was my passion and what I wanted to do for my life.
What was your favourite comic growing up?
I never had a favorite comic, but I have a lot of fun reading Otomen, Hellboy and American Vampire.
What was the first piece of work or project that you were really proud of?
When I made a comic for a Brazilian publisher that I wanted to work with so much. I think this work will be published this year and mixes fairies and the problems of real life.
What is your preferred material to work with?
The traditional art, watercolor, pencils and colored pencils.
What is your least liked material to work with?
Digital art, sometimes I need to use, but I prefer the traditional techniques.
What’s your dream project? Forget about money, time, popular demand or any other variable. If that was all covered and you would work on whatever you wanted. What would it be?
I don’t have a specific project, I want to work with my own comics and put out all those stories I want to tell.
If you were hired to create a book cover based on a classic story. What would the story be and how would you tackle creating it?
Alice in Wonderland, mixing all the variations I’ve seen and adding my own interpretation of this wonderful world.
What are you currently working on and what’s coming up in the future?
I’ve an ongoing personal project called “onde nascem os seres mágicos?” (Where are magical beings born?) on a crowdfunding platform and I’m working on a comic with a Brazilian writer.
Which artist(s) would you like to see interviewed? Why?
Zao Dao, she has a wonderful artwork and a great woman artist.
What questions (apart from these ones!) would you like to ask them?
Who are the artists you use as reference?
Tell us something about yourself that people wouldn’t normally know!

Fishing Memories – To be published
Name:
RHStewart
In a sentence, who are you and what do you do?
Drinker of coffee drawer of comics.
What got you started? Was there a specific moment or time when you realised “this is what I want to do”?
No specific moment. Comics have been apart of my life since early childhood. I was lucky enough to grow up in a time when you could buy Comics at the Newsagents. As a child I would often emulate (draw) what I was reading.
What was your favourite comic growing up?
Depends on the artist 😉 2000AD and Incredible Hulk were my constants though.
What was the first piece of work or project that you were really proud of?
I’m proud of all my work in some shape or form, every page unique it its own way. Aleister Crowley: Wandering the Waste with Martin Hayes was created through sheer will, determination and bloody belligerence! Getting it finished and published was a saga in itself.
What is your preferred material to work with?
I breathe life into my illustrations by using a verity of mediums from the traditional pencils, pens, markers, and paints to the very latest Adobe packages such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign by creating different layers and textures from my sketches and photocopies, also cutting and scanning my work into the computer. I enjoy the best of both worlds when creating my work, seamlessly blending the traditional approaches with the new.
What is your least liked material to work with?
I’ve never taken to acrylic paints and am yet to use oil paints.
What’s your dream project? Forget about money, time, popular demand or any other variable. If that was all covered and you would work on whatever you wanted. What would it be?
Some would say I am already creating my dream projects as the subject matter can be deeply personal. Shogun Warriors, Rom, Deathlok, Moon Knight and Adam Warlock would be something I would like to sink my creative teeth into.
If you were hired to create a book cover based on a classic story. What would the story be and how would you tackle creating it?
Fahrenheit 451 – By making a mess! While the techniques can remain the same the outcomes will always vary. You will often find me surrounded by bits of paper, photocopies, old magazines, new and old books, spray mount, PVA glue, scissors, scalpels, pencils, rubbers, pens, markers, paints, to work this way is a release, a method of personal expression. The rules go out of the window when the mind is set free and given a chance to play. Perhaps this is not the correct way of drawing but who is to say what is? It seems the more mistakes I make the better my illustrations become, as the French would say ‘serendipity’.

Name:
Ben Edwards
In a sentence, who are you and what do you do?
I’m an illustrator, comic artist and game designer.
What got you started? Was there a specific moment or time when you realised “this is what I want to do”?
I was in a fairly low point in my life and ready for a fresh start! I always loved drawing as a kid so wanted to revisit that hobby, which lead to making my own children’s book (which I hope remains lost to the internet). Through that process it reignited my passion for creating stories and the determination to get good enough to tell them! I haven’t looked back since.
What was your favourite comic growing up?
Embarrassingly I never read many comics as a child so a little late to the party. Although I do remember finding a Pokemon manga and was obsessed with the panels inside.
What was the first piece of work or project that you were really proud of?
Well that would have to be Blue Fox Comics very own Nemo, the first comic I published. This was the first time someone took a chance on my work and help me share a story. Being in my final year of uni it was hard not to be proud of that!
What is your preferred material to work with?
I’m all digital! Left handed people know why…
What is your least liked material to work with?
Chalk! Credit to anyone who can tame such a smudgy beast!
What’s your dream project? Forget about money, time, popular demand or any other variable. If that was all covered and you would work on whatever you wanted. What would it be?
Well, I’m currently working on a board game but between working full time and juggling a few projects it’s going to be a long process! It’s coming together great but if I had the chance to commit more time to it that would be the dream!
If you were hired to create a book cover based on a classic story. What would the story be and how would you tackle creating it?
I often enjoy the creepy stories! Wouldn’t say no to a H.P. Lovecraft tale and taking on that challenge of the cosmic unknown. Though growing up I LOVED the Spook books by Joseph Deleany and for a chance to illustrate one of those covers would be incredible!
If you had a spirit animal, what would it be?
A Quokka! Those happy little guys got it all figured out.
What are you currently working on and what’s coming up in the future
Well! Currently juggling 3 main projects all of which I post updates on my social media…
- A board game named ‘Legends of Larp’
- An action comic ‘Wasp’ (unconfirmed name) with writer Jordan Sam Adams
- And finally a table top RPG module for all you fellow dice nerds out there!
Which artist(s) would you like to see interviewed? Why?
Dan Berry, he has a lot of experience in the field so always cool to hear his insight.
What questions (apart from these ones!) would you like to ask them?
What is the greatest advice you’ve ever received while working in the industry?
