Japan Ai and Venice Chronicles

[aimeekitty]

I got this adorable letter today. It, and finding a leopard print pimp cane *cough*, have made my crappy week much less crappy. :) Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

Dear Aimee,
I am 9 years old, and my friend and I are huge fans of your book "Japan Ai". We are manga geeks.

Your biggest fan, (____)
P.S. Are you going to make another book like "Japan Ai" ?
---------------------

So, Enrico Casarosa's adorable travel diaries are really inspiring to me. He is a storyboard artist at PIXAR. I'd been busy and didn't realize his new book was out yet! I'm so going to order it on Monday at my local comic store. Check it out!

I'm sorry your week has been crappy, I hope things improve. And your post gives me a perfect excuse to use my pimp avatar!

*HUGS*!

I received my sketchbook today. Love it! I do hope you will do another book.

Wow, congratulations! Are you going to write back to them? You better. (And tell them about this nifty travel book too.)

Well..... Are you? ^_^

I showed my friend Katie my Alice dress and told her you made it and showed her your sketchbook.
In high school you were one of her biggest inspirations and she really admires your work and is going out tomorrow to buy your book.

So I just wanted to let you know that.

of course! I always write back (unless somehow it gets lost in my spam mail.) I just liked this on in particular because she was so cute and NINE. :)

I've started two already, we'll just see! if all goes well, yes :)

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

oh man thanks, that really means a lot to me!

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I will definitely do another one, I'm already working on it... as long as everything goes well!

Thanks so much for the support, seriously.

YAY!!! ^_^

I could break that "Yay" down into more mature, specific terms-- why I think more books like that are a good idea, how (IMNSHO) they can help the market and any young hopeful interested in telling stories via the comic format, why yours specifically are so much fun, etc.-- but honestly, "Yay" sums it up best.
