There are a million good reasons to go travel and see the world. One of those that is near to my heart is inspiration. You can be inspired by the culture, the architecture, the history or the people of a new destination. Many times it’s a random local or traveler that you bump into that can change your life in a moment’s notice. I would never be able to create a fictional world for my comic without travel and the real world inspiring me on a daily basis.

Next year we will have so many places that have inspired me already (some of which I have not yet stepped foot in) like Georgia, Japan and Central Asia. And many others I’m sure that will inspire, hello Korea and Indonesia. Check out the new tour schedule this Thursday. Join us tomorrow to find the next place that will inspire you!

Congrats to the master for his second Oscar. Without a doubt it should have been at least 3 wins with The Wind Rises but hey, some people just love crap like Frozen.

Making our protagonist a headstrong and unique teenage girl was 100% influenced by the countless amazing young heroines that Miyazaki has created for his audiences the past 45 years.

The Boy and the Heron is Miyazaki's second Oscar, after the anime classic Spirited Away.

Thank you James Marsh for another amazing cover to our comic, Dazzle. This one is set in Hong Kong and it looks awesome! We put in a few nods to The Fixx, Pet Shops Boys and The Killers as music is always an inspiration for our storytelling.

Happy birthday Ana. Thanks for indulging us and letting us craft you into our comic's heroine.

How did this all happen? Inspiration of a truly unique person + a little bit of Blade Runner Rachael + love of Art Deco + Rocketeer vibes + love of Ragusa/Dubrovnik + a few bottles of Kriz wines + our illustrators magic = Raga

A Dazzle sighting in Houston. Thanks for sharing Elizabeth!

When we imagined M’arden Dubrovnik back in January for our comic, we knew it was going to be something special. But for sure this is a case where the actual place being far more amazing than we could ever capture. Our version is set next to the walls with a sea view. But the real one is even more impressive. Not only the beautiful setting but all the detail and love you can see that was poured into it.

Hoping to experience it in-person soon.

Great job Ana and team!!

We like to live outside the box. Here's a podcast we recorded before our first issue was even out. Talking manifestos, rules, Circassian culture and how Dazzle leaves the box behind.

We probably have already broken a few of our own rules but why the hell not....

Alternative cover for the upcoming issue. It was never going to be called Boom & Doom but certainly the name ain't half bad. Might work as a poster for Neil Marshall's Doomsday film or some other post apocalyptic movie.
