This is my quick take on Jero. You can click on the picture for a closer look.He took first place overall at the 2009 Tokyo Mini-con. He likes rock climbing which might explain the background. Here's my reference from the convention.
I was in Odaiba yesterday and I got a live sketch from him which you can see below. He doesn't keep up a blog but you can check out some of his stuff at http://www10.plala.or.jp/nigaoe-ikka/
