Introduce yourself
🥁 Hej! I'm Glutton, a Danish artist who likes Touhou, books, and mythology. I don't really have a favorite song, but I like ShibayanRecords very much :DYou can find my art at https://gluttoncanart.tumblr.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/gluttoncanart/ 🎷 Hi, I'm Grune! I have a minor obsession with dragons, and in addition to art I also make posable art dolls. Find me here: https://twitter.com/grunesdragon?s=09 🎸 Hello! I'm Dante, and I've been a digital artist for about 5 years! This is my second time as a contributor in a zine and I'm excited to be here! 🎻 I'm a digital artist/madman who posts some art to instagram (@frenchyart) and twitter (@izzyfrenchart). I'm partial to cookies and ska, and I hate bugs.
Do you do commissions post? Where can we find the info?

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?
🥁 When drawing I usually like to listen to some remixes of Touhou music, especially from ShibayanRecords. They're my favorite, after all! 🎷 I usually listen to video game LPs, but have an assortment of VGM, metal, and who knows what else on the music playlist as well! 🎸 Yes! I listen to a variety of music when drawing. 🎻 Yes, usually whatever genre I can get my gritty hands on.
What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?
🥁 ShibayanRecords will probably always be my favorite. I really love their Toho Bossa Nova albums, which are really great for drawing. However, if I had to ask them something, then I'd like to know why they're specifically choosing to do arrangements of Touhou music. 🎷 Dear Susumu Hirasawa - What's your biggest worldly inspiration for your unique, rich sound? 🎸 I'd have to say Green Day! For the question I'd probably ask Billie Joe Armstrong about the difficulties of being bi in the 1990's when Green Day was really big. 🎻 It has to be Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, and I would ask them "How are you so energetic at the age of 50?"
Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?
🥁 I actually do not, however, I'd like to play the piano, or something similar. 🎷 I'm learning the ocarina! Doot doot 🎸 I used to play the clarinet! However, I'd also like to learn bass guitar :) 🎻 I play piano, trumpet, trombone, ukelele and guitar.
Which song(s) are you going to draw?
🥁 I'm going to draw "After Higan Retour" from "Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red" by ZUN. 🎷 Susumu Hirasawa - Niwashi King 🎸 American Idiot by Green Day! 🎻 Orange County by Dylan Kanner
What do you expect from this zine?
🥁 A lot of cool art and music, of course! 🎷 Variety! 🎸 To have a good time and to challenge myself creatively! I mostly draw fanart so I can't wait for how my final piece will come out :D 🎻 I dunno. Friends? Exposure?
Anything else you want to add?
🎷 Hey reader, have a good day!
