[Community Spotlight] - Blast Ryoku -

Hello everyone!
I'm Blastryoku and I write and draw the webcomic called curse lineage.

I was born in south America in a little town called Liborina.
There was never much to do so I would draw in the afternoon.
My first comic was a hero comic called Fusionman.

We were a family of 4 pretty close so when my older brother finished high school and wanted to start university, we moved to the city.

This is where I got to know manga and started planning and developing my webcomic: Curse Lineage.

It's also where I finish my studies on graphic design but the situation is pretty difficult so I have to look for every job opportunity that comes my way.

At the moment I'm continuing my work on Curse Lineage while planning another story so stay tuned.

If you want to contact me, you can find me on these places.

Hi everyone! I'm the artist behind the educational comics and games "Niels Feynman' and "Ernest the blue bunny".


I was asked by the awesome wonder mommy Keirani Gallant to give you some insight into how I became a graphic artists so here we go!

I was born and raised in East Europe and despite the wars, dictatorships and  economic meltdowns I have doctors, engineers and artists in my family who nurtured my love of learning.  My grandfather was a writer and editor of the national publishing house so I grew up with atlases he worked on and my parents encouraged my curiosity and education. They worked a lot so many hours I spent alone coloring and watching  cartoons and documentaries. 

I finished school and got degrees in International Marketing from the Academy of Economic Studies and a degree in Multimedia from the National University of Theatrical and Cinematographic Arts and I went on to work in advertising and shovelware games because it payed the bills and I like eating. Occasionally I would get to work on an educational feature film animation or video game, but the pay was sad.




My husband was the one that encouraged me to do what I like and helped me start my business last year. He is a nuclear physicist  and a gamer and the most awesome person you'll ever meet!


I have created :
- a science themed calendar
- a comic book series about time traveling
- a farming and economy themed board game and,
- a collectible sticker booklet to help kids learn about the history and geography of the United States of America. 

At the moment I'm working on a video game and I plan to make a booklet with the European Union like I did for the US! I always try to find new ways to make learning fun  and  awesome people like the ones behind SciShow and CGP Grey , Kurzgesagt , Awkward Yeti and Skallagrim are a constant inspiration.

I'm always happy to answer  questions and to help  so you can find me here:
