(The last batch of questions are words of wisdom for the next generation of artists and writers. These new artists should heed the advise of their elders because they also had the same worries and expectations when they first started out.)
---------------------------------------------------
What has impressed you the most about young artists you have met at anime conventions?
---------------------------------------------------
Patrick Macias: Their passion for pop culture that is foreign to America.
Rikki Simons: Their lack of fear. When I was a child, making the decision to draw cartoons over realism was a decision that could mean limited career choices in the United States, and having an anime or manga influence meant the possibly of having no career at all. That's all changed. Kids draw what they want now and they feel this will not hamper their future in any way. The down side is that it's made some of them smug.
Jan Scot-Fraizer: I really enjoy seeing the artists who have developed their own style and are doing their own comics and illustrations. There are some really talented and dedicated folks and there's something about anime/manga that really brings an energetic creativity out of people.
