Sweatdrop Studios are a collective of UK Original English-language manga creators who publish British small press comics.
[1] Sweatdrop is frequently mentioned in the UK's only anime, manga and Asian cinema magazine, Neo, in which members regularly produce tutorials[citation needed].
The Studio was founded in 2001,[5] by a co-operative of four independent UK manga artists, who, until then, had been self-publishing at a small-press level individually.
These artists were Hayden Scott-Baron, Laura Watton, Sam Brown and Foxy, who had met via their attendance at UK manga conventions.
These activities include: publishing comics, participating in writing manga drawing tutorials in magazines, attending conventions and events, running workshops and panels and administration of their website ( http://www.sweatdrop.com/ ) and its forum.
