Q + A (from my Tumblr and Facebook)

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 23, 2013, 9:17 AM
Q: Kai-san what is your position on foreigners becoming mangaka, I'm just curious because there are people who think that manga is strictly a Japanese art. Thanks for your time. ^_^

A: It doesn't matter where someone is coming from, but quality and skill does matter.~
---

Q: Where do you buy most of you art supplies?

A: At Sekaido in Shinjuku.
---

Q: hey i was wondering.. what type of paper do you use for your watercolor illustrations? doesn't look like regular watercolor paper ;-; i'd really love to know :)

A: Uhm, I hope this doesn't dissappoint you but it -is- regular watercolor paper I am using..ww
---

Q: When you first started out as a professional artists, what was it like for you? And How did you bring notoriety to your wonderful art?

A: Hn, actually it was not so different from before. it was my dream to become professional, and I had no doubt to make it come true. So it was more like 'just starting' or something..
And to be honest, I am not really thinking about something like notoriety.
Such kind of things give me headache, haha! I just wanna create art :>
---

Q: Have you ever messed up badly while inking?

A: No. The ink has to obey me, fufufu~
---

Q (by anonymous): Can you elaborate on why you support gay marriage? What makes it right? Marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Sure gays have rights to love each other but MARRIAGE ? We need to keep marriage sacred. That's my opinion...

A: The thing we need to keep sacred is Love itself.
It is something about the rights of human being.
Therefore I am supporting gay marriage, though I don't want to get married myself.
---

Q: Hey there Khaoskai hope you're doing well, I was just wondering as a fellow artist what are your views on being a traditional illustrator in a digital age? Have you ever considered creating art digitally or do you simply prefer pencil to paper rather then tablet? Thank you for taking the time to read this :) x

A: I think it is important to have at least a little experience with various tools (traditional and digital).
But I just love traditional media, it has that special magic that digital art can not simulate.
---

Q (by anonymous): Do you ever pick your nose in public? What's your favorite number? Do you prefer long socks or short ones? Do you like cars? Do you ever draw mustaches on people's pictures and giggle? Have you ever thought about growing a beard? Do you like spiders? Have you ever tried to lick your elbow? If a bear and a tiger got into a fight, who would Gadara bet on? Does Colin own any stuffed animals?

A: No, 1, long, no, yes, dun like to, love all animals but spiders creep me, no, tiger, who knows?
---

Q: Hi I was wondering, is there a mailing address to send fan-mail to you? 。◕‿◕。

A: Hi! Since I just started my activity there is no address yet.. but my staff and me will inform you as soon as there is any via the official pages! :>

FAQ *updated :D

Journal Entry: Fri Jan 18, 2013, 4:17 AM
I updated the FAQ since there were many messages and questions incoming. Hope this is helpful!! :>

---------------------------------------

1) What tools do you use for drawing manga?

- Tools are overrated, practise is more important. I am using nib-pen and ink always.

2) May I paint from your pictures for practise?

- Yes, it's okay.

3) Do you take commissions/request/art-trades ?

- No.

4) Please look at my gallery and give me feedback!

- No, I don't have the time to check out random profiles. But I acknowledge the frequent writers. (Even if I can't reply usually, I am very happy to read something from you always.)

5) What media did you use?

- Most of my works are traditional (ink / watercolor / markers)

6) I am doing an university/school/etc. project and I would like to ask you some questions. Answer my interview.

-Unfortunately I don't have time to answer private interviews.

7) May I use your artwork or photo on my website/forum/whatever?

- No. Please respect the copyright.

8) Why are there only a few girls in your artworks?

- I like to draw guys, and I don't know how to draw women...

9) Why don't you answer me?

- I try to reply as often as I can, but please imagine there are a vast number of of messages I get every day... and I am a very very busy person...
Therefore, I try to update my pages as often as I can.

10) What brand of watercolors are you using? Show me how to use Watercolors in general!

- You can find a detailed tutorial I made on YouTube: [link]

11) I am a writer and I want you to illustrate my story and/or a cover!

- Ohh.. I get so many of these messages.
But if you want me to work for you and use my artworks on commercial base, you have to be aware that my professional fee is same as for publishers which includes the copyrights for my artworks.

For many other questions about drawing etc., please check out my Facebook page which is frequently updated with a lot of stuff! :>

I'm not going to fangirl or anything, but I absolutely admire your work. You are just, amazing. I hope you go far with your art, because it looks like a passion. I wish to see you become a huge manga/anime figure, like Masashi Kishimoto, or Takeshi Obata.
