Senryu is Matthew Warlick’s entry for ICBW. In a recent interview with Newsarama, he stated: Senryu started out as an obsession with haikus. Over time I had the idea to set them all to art and see what happened, and fell in love with the format. It was directly inspired by dreams that I’ve had, […]
One event I’m super looking forward to in 2010 is the opening of the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida.
