## Resource

Edison Neo (Singapore comic artist, creator of Snake Claws and No Brainer) joins Nerdy Mewzings to discuss his journey from doodling in school to becoming a full-time comic creator, landing covers for IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Godzilla, and launching his new art book Ink Trooper One on Kickstarter. Edison shares how he discovered comics later in life, learned fundamentals through YouTube (Jim Lee streams, David Finch), and dove deep into martial arts action inspired by Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Shaw Brothers films. He talks about creating Snake Claws during the pandemic as a personal challenge, expanding into the anthology No Brainer with its mix of long-form stories and fun short pieces, and the emotional impact of Daniel Warren Johnson’s Murder Falcon. He also opens up about going full-time after a layoff, his tradigital workflow (digital pencils/roughs → traditional inking), and why he loves the freedom of creator-owned work while still enjoying mainstream gigs. Ink Trooper One collects years of his hero and villain commissions (including many Big Two pieces) with commentary and is available to back on Kickstarter NOW: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/neocomicart/ink-trooper-vol-1 If you love martial arts action comics, Southeast Asian creators, or seeing the full creator process — Leave a 5 STAR review, share with a friend, and Keep it Nerdy!
