Exclusive Interview with Yizumi

Yizumi provides many entertainment contents through his website, Negative Gang. Contents includes: Web Comics, free original Visual Novel, Wall papers and illustrations (Original and parody works). Unfortunately, his Visual Novel, Fuun Aiuchi Gakuen is in Japanese, but if you are interested you can download it from his website. (Make sure you have Japanese language support installed on your PC)

Today, we had a chance to ask Yizumi 19 questions.
[In Japanese]

Q1:What kind of child were you when you were small?

Q2: What made you decide to pursue the current career?
A2: Since I was a kid, I always wanted to have a career that involves drawing.

A3: My illustrations are not drawn in details. Therefore, they might look clean.

Q4: Which part of your image do you put the best thought into?

The most important thing for me is to entertain the viewer, with the medium I created the work with.

Whenever you dedicate your 100% spirit into a particular work, weather people like it or not, that could be an ultimate art?
