Nima of the month: April 2018, July 2011

As a Freelance (i.e., unemployed) Artist, Neal Yamamoto has spewed forth a wide variety of scribblin's and scrivenin's, including humorous illustrations, gag cartoons and comic/sequential art for over a hundred books, comics, magazines and educational publications nationwide. Mr. Yamamoto has also been caught conducting cartooning and comic book illustration workshops at unsuspecting institutions like CSULA, Pasadena City College, Glendale Adult Education and Santa Monica City College. His fevered meanderings can also be seen in a weekly cartoon called "My Name is Neal, which he has been illegally posting on the Discover Nikkei website for the past couple of years.

As yet, he has not been successfully prosecuted.
