First off, I suppose an apology is in order.
Up till now, most everything that is in my gallery is at least 2 years old. Forgive me for posting the old.
I have finally got around to submitting new things. (yes, from this year!)
I'm a little excited to see who will comment, and hope that a great many of you choose to offer HELPFUL comments and criticism.
Thanks to you who choose to offer your opinions, and favourites.
-Emi.

Well...I do feel a little sheepish...
I'm guessing youre refering to your last comment? Um. I'm afraid I didn't see it till just now.
I was gone for the most part of this week and haven't had time to look through all my comments yet! (which is the reason why I haven't responded to some other messages I see you've replied to)
But anyway! no need to fret, I am sure it wasn't meant as a reproach, and I didn't take it negatively. =)
Hopefully, after my art finals are done, I shall have more time to look! =) I am most interested in seeing the rest of your work.
*Himmapaan:iconHimmapaan: Apr 21, 2008, 7:03:27 PM
Oh, not at all - I haven't time to see a fraction of the people I ought. I hope an earlier comment of mine didn't sound like a reproach that you weren't looking enough! :blushes: I realized how it might have sounded after I sent it... ^^;

Hehe, they're not an online company. You can order their books online, but the Folio Society has been around for a long time. Here's a short Wikipedia entry about them: [link] . I've illustrated four books for them and I'm working on the fifth. I am indeed a professional illustrator (have you been looking in my gallery at all? There are tidbits of information here and there in the notes on the pieces...). I've been illustrating soon after graduating in 2003, and have been published by Walker books, Candlewick Press, Oxford University Press, Kingfisher, Random house... Not all whole books but jackets, spot illustrations, sections of anthologies, etc.

How fortunate you are!
I can only speaken ze english, but I'm working on Korean. Rather frusterating; only being able to communicate in one language. Ah, and I do know enough sign language to get by.
My goodness! It sounds *quite* complex. But very interesting...it would be a great accomplishment to learn! I'm sure that the grammar is what the person meant.
Knowing the Language, and the culture must be great for artistic inspiration.
So do you illustrate professionally? I saw that you had done a book for an online company, have you done anything else?
*Himmapaan:iconHimmapaan: Apr 16, 2008, 10:08:17 AM
I can speak, read and write it, yes. :D

It isn't easier than English at all (except to native Thai speakers, perhaps)! The Grammar is different and less complex than English, which may be what the person who told you meant. But take this just for starters: it has 44 letters of the alphabet, plus a myriad of vowel sounds denoted by symbols seperate from the alphabet itself (a much broader range of sounds than can be satisfactorily phoneticised in English); there are differences in vowel lengths, and it's a very tonal language, again, indicated by symbols. The symbols also have different effects on the types of alphabet sounds. Mispronouncing the length and the tone can mean the difference between a perfectly innocuous word and a rude one, for example.

This is just for starters, as I say. It gets far more complex! ^^;

Ah, well!
I suppose that would make you somewhat of an epert! =D
Can you speak the language? I have been told it's very pretty and it's actually easier to learn than English...
Do you like living in London? I've been considering it, myself.
*Himmapaan:iconHimmapaan: Apr 14, 2008, 12:16:35 PM
I am Thai. :D I live in london, but I was born in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. :)

Perhaps I ought to put this into an FAQ section or something... :P
~ManipulatedSilence:iconManipulatedSilence: Apr 13, 2008, 9:23:16 PM
Haha, welcome back. =p
Hmmm...very interesting! I bet Thai mythology is pretty interesting, are you familiar/fluent in it, or did you just read the name in passing?
Kinnaree? I don't mind the plug at all. I welcome them!
Thanks. =) I'll go check it out!
*Himmapaan:iconHimmapaan: Apr 12, 2008, 2:31:45 PM
I've lasped back into obscurity, thank Goodness! ^^;

Hehe, I've answered this one a few times. Himmapaan is the name of a forest in Thai mythology (you might like to see Kinnaree in the gallery. Do excuse the plug!).
~ManipulatedSilence:iconManipulatedSilence: Apr 12, 2008, 1:54:47 PM
Haha, I can imagine. But it's good that things have calmed down. Times like that, that make me glad I'm an "unknown". =)
By the way, (on a random note) what does your name mean?
*Himmapaan:iconHimmapaan: Apr 12, 2008, 12:14:13 PM
Things have calmed down a lot since! I'm still having trouble catching up with new friends' journals and deviations though!
~ManipulatedSilence:iconManipulatedSilence: Apr 12, 2008, 12:37:09 AM
Youre quite welcome! It was well deserved, and deserves a lot more I think. Congratulations on the feature, and good luck with all those messages in your inbox. >_<
*Himmapaan:iconHimmapaan: Apr 11, 2008, 5:43:29 AM
Thank you so much for the favourite!

thanks for saying so! ^__^

If you find this kinky and perverted, good for you. If you find it sick and disgusting, consider it punishment. ^_____^
~ManipulatedSilence:iconManipulatedSilence: Apr 10, 2008, 2:11:01 PM
No problem! Your stuff is very imaginative, and beautifully done. I really liked the one with the trains. =)
~bobchrist:iconbobchrist: Apr 10, 2008, 11:02:58 AM
