Meet the creator
Ricky Hawkins is the writer and artist based in Maryland, USA, behind the independent manga series, Striker-X.
My StoryAs a life-long artist, I’ve always had the drive to draw, paint, storytelling and creating things. I even drew pictures of Pokémon and sold them to classmates in elementary school. Growing up, I loved watching TV shows and anime like Avatar: TLA, Dragonball Z, and Naruto, to name a few. These show’s helped shaped the foundation of my inspirations with the drive to create a story of my own.
When I was in middle school, at around 11 years old I started my first version of Striker-X and continued to work on the series up until the year I graduated high school in 2017. I spent my college years working and learning about video and animations, while continuing to develop Striker-X with the hopes of returning to a new version, looking to my school-years’ version as a sort of “first draft of the story”.
I’m super excited to bring this project to life and hope create the same kind of story I’ve grown to love and has shaped my love for art and storytelling.
