I sat down with Mick "Ricepirate" Lauer to have a little chat about Blood Sun Vendetta- an original Jojo Fanimanga that he's been working on for the last two years. We discuss several topics, including his influences, his history with the Jojo IP, and even his own bizarre adventure as a creative. Discover tidbits from his journey through Mexico as he gathered research, and learn about the role Newgrounds.com had in making him who he is today.

Some of you may recognize Ricepirate for his work in the digital space throughout the last few years, or perhaps you've seen his name in the credits of voice actors in different games in anime. With official credits in Jojo's English dub of Golden Wind as Abbacchio, you never quite know how far those dreams you hold will take you.

I hope you'll enjoy the interview!
