Steve Bennett
Animator/Cartoonist
STEPHEN ROBERT BENNETT IV was born *&#@?! years ago at Tachikawa Air Force Base in Japan. After exstencive travles with his family in the milatary, the family moved back to Japan when Steve was in his teens, and while he was there he was lucky enough to land a job with Studio Aoehyma, and work under the great Japanese animator, Noboru Furusei (New Dominion Tank Police, Lupin III, etc.) During his time at Studio Aoehyma, worked on such titles as Cat's Eye, the Urusei Yatsura TV Series and Only You, as well as others.
He started up Studio Ironcat, a Japanese manga publisher, in 1997. Ironcat ran until 2004. Although Steve enjoyed his time with Ironcat, the job kept him too busy to focus on his own art. With the close of Ironcat, Steve was finally free to create his own comics, and get back into the artistic side of the industry. Today, Steve has two new webcomics on-line ("Shakespeare Rodeo" and "Life With Steve") and is finally letting his creative juices flow!
J*SCAPEBand Formed in 2005 with inspiration from Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, Cesar, Shiro, Alexis, and Yoh all had a passion for music. As their affection for Japanese music grew, so did their song library. After being opened up to various artists by their new vocalist, Yuki, the band began to incorporate not only Anime theme songs but J-Rock artists as well. After coming off the high that was 2007, J*Scape is looking forward to rocking out in 2008 with a brand new look and sound! |
