About Ume

 
Ume Comics was officially started in the summer of 2010 and is drawn by Amaya G.

Three "sets" were finished, called "Ume", "Umeshu" and "Umeboshi".

These older drawings were done in pencil, scanned and colored in mostly pastels and bright colors in Photoshop.

After a short break Fresh Ume (or New Ume) was started in the summer of 2011, these new posts are drawn in fineliner, scanned and colored again, in Photoshop.

These one-panel comics are meant to show the enjoyment of every day life and appreciating simple things.


Amaya lives in Seward, Minneapolis with two cats. She likes paper stores, drying roses, and pistachios.
She has a BFA in comics from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and does a bunch of other things that aren't drawing "comics". You can find her around the internet, or on her sketchblog.
