STATIONERY
These are the stationery that accompany
my manga book.
They can also be enjoyed as original illustration
art.
Letter size A4. 1997-1998. Sold at Comic
World 8 & 9 (1999), AX 2001.
The sky blue swordsman with peony tattoo
is original by me, drawn in the winter of 1997.
If you see similar designs at a convention, well... it
might just be inspired by this particular work. ^_^

DETAIL OF STATIONERY
Here's a detail of Tzi-Quai's peony tattoo. Ice-blue cold.
I suppose this is a rather EROTIC gesture, but Quai had the tattoo done as a display of loyalty.
The Peony is the National Flower of China, and is the Imperial Crest of the Dynasty.
His tattoo crawls all over his back and extend over the
right arm.
The choice of a flower motif for
a male, is unusual. But this is just part of Lord Quai's eccentricity.
Merciless, cruel yet having this obsessive devoted side
which is the visual paradox of a bloodthirsty
warrior reciting poetry? (YAOI AESTHETICISM
#1)
I like to lace perfection with a touch of horror. Doesn't
it sicken you to have plants growing over your back?
And those are dense, tightly packed itchy herbals, no?
Visceral sordid beauty is a superficial thing to be
disgusted. Therefore, beauty must be soiled with poison?
(YAOI AESTHETICISM #2)
ADDITIONAL
REMARK
I actually tattooed the design onto the drawing.
Needle by Needle. Nib by Nib.
Mind you, it took me hours. Then more hours to
screentone shade it. Talk about PAIN.
(Yo, Tsi-Quai, you better appreciate what your creator
sacrificed timewise, cut that obnoxious arrogant
attitude of yours. I can KO your character just
as easily as you can KO your rivals. ^_^ )
