Author Profile: Koony (Resident Artist Extraordinaire)


Born Malaysian Chinese, now Australian national, always been Japanese. Currently working as a data management analyst in the corporate world. Would like to be an artist instead. Alas, have never attended art lessons nor earned an art degree.

Grew up imbued in the hues of Nakajima Miyuki, Anzenchitai, The Checkers, Makihara Noriyuki, Pizzicato Five, Yoko Kanno, and many more; not to mention manga and anime. Rediscovered Japan during a one month cultural exchange program in January 2002. Have been "returning" to Japan at least twice a year since then, for the various otaku conventions, rock festivals, and anything Bump of Chicken related.

Apart from specializing in Bump of Chicken, other favorites include Ego Wrappin', the pillows, and many many more. I'm open to all genres of Japanese music.
