I am an independent cartoonist and author that sells his own self-published graphic novel series called "TAMASHI." A story about a girl lost in a new world called the Ancient Land. There are 10 volumes, and the series is still ongoing. I am an advocate for awareness of people with special needs including but not limited to autism and Asperger’s syndrome. “TAMASHI”, includes many themes concerning living with special needs. I have also merged my life experiences into the Tamashi tale.
