FAQ

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 15, 2008, 9:58 AM

Frequently asked question #1: MalvaAlcea… is that your real name?
No it’s not. That is the Latin name of a certain flower. Google Malva Alcea and you’ll understand.

Frequently asked question #2: What’s the name of your little characters?
I have taken to calling the male character Little Dude and the female character is called Little Lady.

Frequently asked question #3: What tools do you use to draw your pictures?
Black ballpoint pen. That's all. No pencil, no gel pens, no magic involved. Everyone can do it.

Frequently asked question #4: How long does it take you?
That is hard to say as I tend to lose track of time when I’m drawing. But I guess it takes about 4 or 5 hours to finish a drawing.

Frequently asked question #5: How do you think of the quotes you use in your drawings?
That varies. Mostly I make them up myself, sometimes they are based on something I once read or something someone once told me. And sometimes they’re actual quotes from famous people (in that case I mention that person in the artist’s comments of the picture).

Frequently asked question #6: Do you draw a new frame for each picture or do you just copy and paste the same frame every time?
I draw a new frame for each drawing and no, it does not get boring or annoying

Frequently asked question #7: Can you read my mind? Cause the feelings described in your pictures always seem to match my feelings.
Sadly I do not have the ability to read minds but believe me I’d be happy if I did. I guess it’s just normal that sometimes the feelings in my drawings match your feelings. After all, we’re all human beings and we all share the same feelings, don’t we?

Frequently asked question #8: So... are you in love?
I am. And, my God, it's the greatest thing that could happen. I tell you, let yourself fall in love if you haven't done so already. You are wasting your life.

Frequently asked question #9: May I use one/some of you drawings for a school project/collage/whatever?
No, generally you may not. But in special cases I am willing to make an exception. If you think yours is one of said special cases, send me a note and we’ll work it out.

Frequently asked question #10: May I post one/some of your drawings on my website/my myspace page?
Sorry, no.

Frequently asked question #11: May I print out one/some of your drawings for my girlfriend/boyfriend/mother/someone else?
See Frequently asked question #9

Frequently asked question #12: May I colour one of your drawings and upload it in my gallery?
No. My drawings are not for stock use. If I wanted them to be colourful, I'd colour them myself.

Frequently asked question #13: Where can I buy prints of your artwork?
Unfortunately there are no prints available as of yet. But I’m working on it. I promise.

Frequently asked question #14: Is there a book available with a collection of all your pictures?
Sadly there's still no book available. I'm still trying to figure out the best way publish it though. But I'm afraid it's going to take a while. The first two attempts failed -.-

Frequently asked question #15: Are you doing this FAQ thing because you’re a mean, snobbish, high-maintenance bitch who doesn’t like to talk to other people?
Hell no, I’m just trying to save us some time.

Frequently posted comment: Thank you for making my day.
You don’t have to thank me for making your day. Remember that you’re making mine as well.

Random tip on the side: I don't reply to comments on my userpage. If you have a question you desperately need to get answered, send me a note.

Copyright info: My drawings may not be reproduced, copied, edited or published in any way. Please respect copyrights.


Have a nice day everyone!

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.”

- Pablo Picasso
