# About me
I would consider myself an otaku kid for sure, I surely can never find enough Manga to devour.Thanks to my father, I got into the stuff pretty early on so I've been at it for about 14 years now... Damn that must make me sound old... Well I'm not, I'm only 24.
Anyway, I set up this profile as basically a showcase for my first Manga and hopefully when it's finished you guy's will love it, cause honestly (without tooting my own horn too bad) it's pretty damn sweet. The credit could not go all towards me though, my partner in crime wrote out pretty much all there is to know about this world and the stories it contains.
Well, I don't have much else to say. I'm a young guy with a lot of stuff to put on paper, and I hope you like it...
If you want to see me making some of this check out my youtube profile: www.youtube.com/ronaproject

I feel like everything in life must happen for a reason... I just happened to log into my old YouTube account today and I just so happened to find the Ronaproject channel I followed so avidly nearly 10 years ago now. I remember being no older than 13 and being mesmerized by the work Anthony and Ryan were doing together. Just as vividly, I remember the surge of motivation it gave me to really start really improving my art. After learning of Anthony's passing I was heartbroken... and I had promised to not let his dream die. I'd continue drawing for him. Unfortunately... years dulled that promise. I did forget my art, and through college I never even picked up a paint brush. I think finding the Ronaproject again is no coincidence. I will use Anthony's memory to rekindle my love for art. I also wanted pass along all the love to Anthony's family. Thank you for continuing to update this account all these years. It makes me feel like Anthony's memory will live on, that his art will continue to inspire others as it has done with me.Β

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond! Life happens and we get caught up in other priorities. Today (December 30th, 2018) is the first time I've been on Anthony's DA page in I don't know how long! I too am finding my time much more limited now than a few years ago. I thank you so much for your comment and it makes my family extremely happy to know that our son still inspires artists around the world to continue to pursue their passion!

I've never really drawn to much in my life.. But I love to write. I've been watching a lot of Rona and was there even for the 1K sub back in the day haha. I miss it. I remember hoping to meet you guys and just have a single conversation one day with you.. I live in Indiana right next to you so it didn't really feel all that much like a pipe dream. Although it cannot happen now.. I do know that the inspiration you've left in me as well as many others will live forever. Everything that glitters is not gold, but I know with persistence comes improvement and you taught me that. I will never reach your status and I know that.. But I'm working hard. This is my work only 2 months into drawing. If anyone sees this from Rona or even Anthony's family I'll be happy.. At least I'll have the opportunity to talk to them and maybe even learn a little able him.

Somehow after so many years I keep finding myself watching the Rona project youtube videos, in itself it's story, of two young men who made their dreams, Rona, come to reality. And thats more than most people will ever do in their lives. Rona is still very much alive in us all.Β
Question. I know it may be very difficult to do but is there by any chance of you selling me a copy of Rona? I never really had the opportunity to purchase one back in the days. Also is there any way of obtaining the soundtrack? Because they are BEAUTIFUL and gets me everytime!Β
Thanks!

Sorry for the late response! I'm only able to monitor this page from time to time. Sadly, I don't think there are any more copies of the book available, I honestly don't know what Ryan did with the surplus stock. As far as sound track goes, if you wanna note me a good e-mail address or phone number, I can forward your info to Joseph and he can work something out with you I'm sure.
Thank you for your kind words and your sentiment!

Earlier this year.. Honestly around the time you posted this comment, I purchased a Rona book. I came into contact with Ryan and he was able to get to me the day after my appendix surgery to help me. It gave me the perfect time to really cherish the books content.. I was young and below the age to work when it came out so I was just now able to do so.. I'm now 20 years old and this book will forever hold a special place in my heart. Anthony was truly inspiring as well as Ryan. If no copies of the book are left I'll be happy to assist you guys with willingly handing my book over free of charge. It does mean a lot to me but if it means touching people in the same way it touched me then I'd love to help even if it's only to one person.

Thank you Anthony,
I remember 5 or so years ago I was skimming youtube and found you . I started from the first video and as I went on this adventure with you I was crushed knowing you weren't finishing the journey with your fans. I may not have met you but know you inspired me and countless others. You will be missed.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm Anthony's dad and it always makes me glad to know that even now, my son continues to inspire people artistically! Thank you so much for sharing!

I miss Anthony. What's going to happen with Rona now?I hope to see it continue and grow
π: 0 β©: 1
I miss Anthony too. I don't know the future of Rona. I've spoken with Ryan on this; initially he was searching for another artist to continue with the world of Rona. But later, Ryan told me he isn't sure if this is something he wants to complete without Anthony. It may remain unfinished, as I think Ryan realizes it won't be the same without Anthony! Ryan may decide to do other projects, but Rona is on hold, at least for now.
