Jaa mata.
09.29.04
Forgive

An artshow at Meltdown

First
Haiku 5-7-5 review ever, at Comixpedia.
Thanks to Michael Whitney. X)
08.01.04
I
just sent e-mails to the 3 winners of a haiku5-7-5 shirt. So I
am afraid if you haven't received a message, you are not among
the lucky ones. X( Good news is you can get your t-shirt today
at the newly opened Haiku5-7-5- store.
Check it out , and thanks all for the support!
Page
14 is done and uploaded!
07.28.04
I
am back! Comic-con was a blast, still recovering though! X) Check
my blog
for a small Con photoreport. Thanks to all of you who stopped
by the booth !
So,
the brand new Haiku T-shirts were quite
the success in San Diego! They will be available for purchase
from August 1st here on the site. But not before I announce the
3 lucky mailing list subscribers that get a free shirt! You still
have a couple of days to sign up and get a chance to win a shirt.
Oh, did I mention I will also send an original signed sketch of
Hiroguchi San with each of the shirts? Well, sign up!
Now...
page 14 ... yes, I know, I am late as hell ... Gommennasai ! Sorry!
The CON took all my energy in the last few weeks. Nevertheless
the page is in good shape, I should have it done in a couple of
days tops. Jaa mata.
07.14.04
I
am off to comic-con in San Diego! See some of you there.
07.14.04
Check
this drawing board thread
for some awesome Haiku5-7-5 drawings. The guest
gallery has been updated with some of them. Forgive the delay
on page 14 but I've bee so busy with getting ready for San Diego.
Good news is the t-shirts came in and look great and I've also
designed postcards, come get some in San
Diego, Ronnie and I will be at booth #1422. Hope to see some
of you there.
07.01.04
July
it's here!! Exciting times. Lot's of updates! First some new
sketches, some of my favorites actually. Second Haiku t-shirts
are on their way! And here's the design.
As I always say, you can never get enough of cool t-shirts with
incomprehensible japanese characters on them X). Can't beat that
... They will be available on this site at the end of this month
and of course I'll have them at San Diego's comic-con.
Ronnie del Carmen and I infact have a booth there (plenty of great
books to show you) and we got the positioning today: Booth#1422.
Come around!
Also
you might have noticed I added a mailing list feature. I thought
it'd be useful , mainly to let readers know when the latest page
is uploaded and everyonce in a while some haikus and news . Afraid
of too much haiku news in your mailbox? Well, it's very easy to
unsubscribe AND, to give you an incentive, on August 1st I am
gonna give away 3 free Haiku shirts
to 3 random Haiku5-7-5 readers that signed up ... I must be going
crazy ... oh well, just trying to spread the way of the Gangster
Poet ... X)
06.27.04
Page
13 is done and uploaded.
06.19.04
Just
added a new gallery with guest artists'
art. Some great work in there. If you have any Haiku5-7-5 inspired
drawings let me know and I'll be happy to add them to the gallery!
06.12.04
Page
12 done and uploaded.
06.11.04
Forgive
me the major delay, been really busy finishing this
artbook and work has been crazy at Pixar this past week. But
page 12 is almost finished, missing the zippatone only. With Mia2
(check this nice first
review for it if you have 2 minutes) and fragments out of
my way I can now focus on Haiku a bit more. In fact I decided
to make some Haiku5-7-5 t-shirts in time for San Diego Comicon.
Will show you the design as soon as I finish it. Later!
05.15.04
Need
a journal to fill with doodles and sketches? Well might as well
get one with your favorite Yakuza on it ... X)
if
you enjoy Haiku5-7-5 please think about supporting this free site
... and get your self a nice new
sketchbook!
05.13.04
Changed
the main page, going to feature one panel from the latest page,
instead of the whole thing. I felt that might have been a spoiler
for new readers. I also started charcoal panels for page 12.
Added
a quick sketch of Hiroguchi.
04.30.04
Page
11, as promised.
jaa
mata.
04.25.04
Page
10! Phew, sorry about this delay! I have page 11 in decent shape,
I will try and finish that one within a few days, to make up for
it.
Adventures
of Mia issue 2 is done! Phew #2. X) Look for it, on next month's
Previews. and if you like Mia, please let your comic book retailer
know, so he can order some! It'll be in comicbook stores in August.
Some
of you might have noticed that my enricocasarosa.com site is down,
I am having a bit of trouble with the service. In fact I decided
to switch. I lost some files X( ,but I hope to have part of the
site back up in a day or two.
04.10.04
Forgive
me the terrible delay ... but I was in Japan for a couple of weeks.
I guess you could call it research! Anyway the trip was amazing,
took ton of photos and I am writing about the experience on my
blog. I even
saw a dubious looking fella missing a pinky! But I was too chicken
to try and sneak a picture. Anyway check the blog also to read
about my visit to Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki San! His latest movie:
Howl's Moving Castle is almost done and it's looking amazing!
Page
10 is roughed out, should take a couple of more days. Sorree!
Mia is taking
almost all my time this week.
03.14.04
Page
9! Done ... suffered through this one for some reason, kept on
moving panels around, couldn't settle on one layout , oh well
I finally did and here it is ... enjoy! (Filthy Joe is almost
here ...)
Many
thanks to Amid Amidi that mentioned Haiku5-7-5 at his AnimationBlast:
animation with an attitude! (I confess I check it daily). Anyway,
thanks for sending some new readers this way.
03.13.04
Been
a little slow on Haiku5-7-5 since I am trying to finish Mia's
second issue. But page 9 is coming real soon, half done right
now ...
03.03.04
The
"Characters" page is up! Check
it out. The cast is really much bigger than this, but I can't
tell you much more about it for now. I want you to find out about
these and new characters as the story unfolds. cheers!

will post them all, little by little.

The
Alternative Press Expo here in SanFrancisco was a blast of a convention.
Thanks to all that came around to say hi. Only problem the con
made me late with page 8 !! It's coming in one or two days I promise.
I am also in the process of redesigning the main page a little.

Omedetou Gozaimasu! or Happy New Year everyone!
I just added a donation button to the site. Please, if you enjoy
Haiku5-7-5, consider giving me a hand to keep it going and to
cover even just a little bit of the expenses. It'll be very much
appreciated! The other idea I am toying with right now is making
Haiku t-shirts ... that might be a good way to get the word out
there ... let me know if you feel you'd be interested in that...
Page
