Eric Muthoga and Shin Kyouketsuki are Kenyan Manga artists. They also do work for Shujaaz.FM magazine.
Being a mangaka is a household name that will never go away. It’s sad when students are being told that they are not real artist if they draw manga. Actually what they should be advised is that if you want to drawn like those manga artist, you should also study life drawing as those wonderful manga artist are actually really talented in drawing life art. Thanks to the advancement in technology and the wonders of the internet limitations are being pushed aside take Kenya, a country that you would think may be isolated from everything there are youths that are mangakas, drawing manga style art but in a aesthetics that is more recognizable to their region. Even in Jamaica my mother land we have artist that are tenfold more talented than myself and are gaining grounds. I can’t wait to see where they go next and what takes place in the next few years.

So I watched the first episode of House of Cards and best home for a show of magnitude and character was Netflix. Unfortunately today with so many channels and methods of filling your viewing needs, it would have failed on regular tv, that model just did not fit the mold of “House of cards”. It was a show that needed to be released in one shot. For example one shot movies. Everything is contained in that single hour, two hour or how ever long the movie happens to be. Actually that was not a good example, lets see if I can do better than that. Ok here we go, in the case of “House of Cards”, due to the pacing and the way individuals watch tv and the mere fact that there are many avenue you have to give them the power of right now access as Kevin Spacey stated in his talk regarding his distaste of the tv model.

With the limited scope and mind of people of today it would have failed on regular tv but on netflix where everything was released in one shot this was Simply Brilliant. The netflix/hulu type of instant ondemand is the new tv method hence why cable companies are realizing they have to partner with these companies else the only use they will serve is to provide the highway for the streaming traffic.
