Grant Gould is a name that has become more and more known among comic and trading card fans over the past few years. He’s a personal friend of mine and also is the artist who designed the mascot for my toy blog, Mechazilla. You can check out his official website and art portfolio at GrantGould.com. It’s been a busy year for Grant, and freshly back from the San Diego Comic Con, he was able to take some time to talk with me about what he’s been up to and what new and awesome things he has in the works.

In the first season of Heroes he played Chandra Suresh, the unwitting mentor of the psychopathic villain Sylar. Being a fan of so much of his work, I was very excited to get the chance to interview him.

Yesterday I posted the first installment of my two-part interview with Keiko Takamura. She’s a virtual celebrity in the world of Second Life and an actual up and coming musician named Amy Te offline. You might have seen her recently in a spotlight on MTV’s award winning True Life series, where she discussed her musical status within the game and gave us a glimpse into her work towards getting her music heard by non-Second Life audiences.
Check out Keiko’s website at http://keikotakamura.com/ where she posts news and media, as well as a page where you can listen to and purchase her music. She’s also online at http://www.myspace.com/keikotakamura and http://keikotakamura.livejournal.com, and you can join her Second Life Group called Keiko Takamura’s Anti-Fan Club.
