Recent Novels

Pure Invention by Matt Alt

Recently I’ve been reading Pure Invention: How Japan’s Pop-Culture Conquered the World by Matt Alt. It’s been a stimulating and enlightening read, and I encourage others to pick it up as well! The book helped fill in the gaps in my knowledge for writing YouTube videos like The Edit of Evangelion.

You can pick it up here: Pure Invention: How Japan’s Pop-Culture Conquered the World

Daily Equipment

Laptop: Lenovo Legion 5i Pro (Gen 7)

For the majority of my work, I use the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro, 7th Generation. It’s perfect for editing, writing, and illustration, and the turbo mode has helped me out of more tough situations than I care to admit. Even though Lenovo has upgraded a few specifications in the latest models, I prefer the Gen 7 because the audio jack is on the left, which best suits my setup (plus I love the huge glowing logo on the top panel). It’s high-performance gear I highly recommend, and you can check it out on Amazon here: The Lenovo Legion

Display Tablet: Huion Kamvas Pro 13

What do I illustrate on, though? Well that’d be the Huion Kamvas Pro 13, which has proven reliable since the first day I used it. It’s certainly bizarre at times coupled with the Lenovo Legion, as the laptop’s 16×10 display doesn’t always translate to my tablet display, but I’ve discovered a format which actually optimizes this detail and allows me to draw faster, better, and more reliably. Especially if you’re hooking in to a standard display, I highly recommend this drawing tablet. You can see it on Amazon here: Huion Kamvas Pro 13

Headset: Turtle Beach Recon 150

Whether for work or leisure, Turtle Beach’s Recon 150’s have proven the perfect headwear for me. I’m not a huge fan of headsets, so the fact I find this one so comfortable is a huge bonus and allows me to audio edit (or, let’s be real, play Xbox) for hours without needing to adjust them. I prefer good old wired and built-in accessories, and even after years of use they show no signs of wear. I highly recommend them, especially if you’re like me and don’t usually prefer headsets. Again, you can find them here: Turtle Beach Recon 150
