I've not really thought too much about my trading name from an outside perspective. For me it just sort of happened and made sense. Bamboo Bandit had been my online alias for years before I started sharing my art- back in the days of MSN messenger and internet chat rooms. I have been asked quite a few times about where the name came from, so now I share with you the origin of the Bamboo Bandit. I feel I have a lot in common with the Giant Panda. They don't really like people,
