  So, I have been writing about Wing Shya in the previous posts. Many of you might wonder, who is Wing Shya? And what's so good about Wing Shya? To me and to the many, art is a very subjective matter and, we perceive things in many different ways. I am not trying to persuade you that this is some masterpiece. But personally I think this is a well-done job. I like colors and entertainment.
  
  This project, originally called Angel Mask, is a collaboration between the two artists whom I adore: Tatsuyuki Tanaka and Wing Shya. Tanaka was the key animator for the legendary anime, Akira. On the other hand, Wing, has been sort of a subconcious art mentor to me since I was a teenager (of course, I didn't know this artist back then; his works influenced me to a certain extent, however). All in all, this turns out to be quite a perfect match and, turning a manga into real pictures is just like filming EVA/Akira in Hollywood -- apart from the time taken -- I mean, Wing has put it into reality already. Whilst for the movies, I am looking forward to seeing them in the theatre... soon.
  
  (Keep your fingers crossed... they don't exploit the "Hollywood" style taking away the taste of anime!)
  
  The fruitful result of this project will be again showing in Hong Kong this coming September at OBG -- with much grandiosity -- called PREVATION. Here's a snap preview of the images vs. the manga story board... you like it, or not?
