[Q] How much does it cost to ship overseas?
[A] It depends on ship to and the total weight you ordered. You can try to check the shipping cost on this webstore when registering the address. For example, that will be about $33.4 If you ordered an art of 273 x 220 mm/10.75 x 8.66 in piece and live in New York State. I hope you understand that this price is due to the inclusion of packing materials and cushioning materials that are considered for overseas transportation. It is also due to the recent surge in oil prices.
[Q] How many days does my package take to be delivered?
[A] It depends on countries and regions; it usually arrives in around 10 days.
It may take as long as one month due to Covid-19 related delays. We appreciate your understanding.
[Q] Tell me about the shipping method.
[A] Basically, I use Japan Post’s “Registered AIR Small PACKET” service it’s called e-packet in Japan. That’s cheaper and it takes a little longer time than EMS, however that is very safe and reliable. I may use EMS due to the effects of the coronavirus, but there is no additional charge for that.
[Q] Do I have to prepare for any art frame?
[A] I recommend that. It will confer protection against dust, humidity and scratch in everyday life.
[Q] Is there anything I have to take care of the art?
[A] Please be careful of humidity as well as scratch If especially that’s art which used on paper. And also be careful of direct daylight and increased illumination. I recommend that you have to purchase a frame fits to the size of the art. Please use a soft brush when you clean up the dust on the surface.
[Q] There’s some available art for product?
[A] Please check out HERE
[Q] Can you give me a discount?
[A] Unfortunately I cannot offer discount on any artwork. However if you’re a gallerist, that’s not the case. Please contact me.
[Q] Do you sell your art to use for the cover of our music album?
[A] I’m sorry for that I don’t commission of pencil art and they are selling for collection only at the moment.
[Q] Can you custom piece?
[A] My pencil arts are products of inspiration coming from my own thoughts, feelings, and personal memories. I draw them when I’m driven by an urge. Therefore, I can not accept any kinds of commissions.
For the same reason, I am currently not taking any commissions of pencil arts for album covers, band merchandises and tattoo designs. I have taken commissions for artworks of death metal bands for more than 20 years. It has been great and satisfying and I am thankful for being able to do that. However, from now on, I’d like to focus on making my own art. Currently I hardly ever make an artworks for bands, but they are all limited to CG arts using editors such as Photoshop. For the pencil art, I strongly wish to draw freely without any limitations.
Some clients ask for pencil-like drawings for CG arts. That’s not acceptable either. My CG arts and pencil arts are two completely different things. Please understand that my pencil arts are created by my free will.
