Junko Mizuno Interview
THE COMICS JOURNAL has put online an excerpt from an interview with manga artist Junko Mizuno — the full interview is in the current issue of the magazine, #273.
The next release (22) from the GAS BOOK series covers designer/art director Nagi Noda. Also, this month’s Ginza Graphic Gallery exhibition (February 6-28) is a look at her work, focusing on her “Hanpanda” creations.
Seth Fisher, a comic book artist I really, really liked (VERTIGO POP TOKYO, FANTASTIC FOUR/IRON MAN: BIG IN JAPAN), has passed away due to injuries resulting from a fall off a club’s roof in Osaka. More info on the artist (from CR Briefings) here, here, and here.
Update: More info from Drawn! The Illustration Blog.

Konica Minolta, Sayonara
Wow!
Konica Minolta Holdings Co. announced that it would withdraw from the digital camera and film business by March 31, 2006. The company will also be transferring part of their Digital Single Lens Reflex camera business assets to Sony, and will then focus on its optics and display device fields such as liquid crystal film, and copy machines. The prominent camera brand, which has been in the market for over 130 years since its establishment as Shop Konishiya Rokube in 1873, will completely disappear from the market. (Kyodo News)
