Here it is! A manga portrait of me done by artist Nina Matsumoto (aka space coyote):

Check out more of Nina’s art at spacecoyote.com. Recently, Nina’s manga version of The Simpsons (posted at deviantart.com) caught the eye of Matt Groening, and she was asked to do the art for a Simpsons comic parodying the manga cartoon style. Her next project is a manga of her own creation. I’m lucky she managed to fit in my portrait commission. I don’t look much like a manga hero, but I still like it much better than my photographs!

    The portrait captures a dreamy look that makes me think you are in a far off place, emersed in memory and imagination! Very nice!

    Thanks, Oliver! Unfotunately, I have to avoid MSN or I would be spending way way too much time on the computer, my eyes would be too burned out, and I wouldn’t get any of my writing work done…
