And she comes out of nowhere with this ... this artwork titled VEGAN PRINCESS. The title alone owns my heart, but more so, the dedication and understanding the artist, Emerald Tokyo, has for my ideals. Emerald Tokyo cares to capture more than simply her subjects' look, but that thing that makes them unique in the world as well. She looks for the person in the human. And when she sent me this, I felt like she had been paying attention. I can see through her art that she understands something about me that I wish everyone whom met me walked away understanding.

Emerald Tokyo is a comic artist, graphic design student and officially the "colorist with the most potential" in my book. She can use Photoshop to do things that water, sunshine, oil and spandex do in real life. Color, by the way, is one of my favorite things in the world - I am quite stimulated by color! And now that I have been paying such close attention to comic art, I know that color is the magick spell whispered over the sleeping beauty of line drawings, waking them from their rest to live a potent life. Emerald Angel is a female artist whom enjoys drawing female heroines - something else I appreciate. I hope to see Emerald Tokyo's talent utilized everywhere in the coming years. Thank you, from the VEGAN PRINCESS!
