  • Yes, at this time, I am open to personal commissions depending on the project after consultation. Feel free to reach out. However, there is also a possibility that I may not be able to accommodate your request.

  • Unless you are a self-published author, the art directors and editors of most publishing houses will choose an illustrator whose work and style best convey the tone of the story. While you may have a say, the author is not necessarily involved in selecting the illustrator, so I do not work on projects that involve creating dummies for the pitching process.

    As collaborating with self-published authors may involve art direction and cover development, I do not collaborate with self-published authors at this time.

  • I am currently seeking representation.

  • ORIGINALS*/ COMMISSIONS:

    Please allow 5-7 days for me to prepare and ship originals. I will ship orders with insurance/tracking via Express Mail Service (EMS), the fastest international mail service through the Japanese postal service. As the rates and estimated delivery times vary with each country, I would send a quote and request payment prior to shipping. You have the option to cancel the order if the shipping charge is not acceptable. All added customs and taxes are the buyer’s responsibility.

    *ACEOS (2.5" x 3.5" Art Cards, Editions, and Originals) purchased directly will be sent via the regular international mail service at a flat rate to keep pricing accessible.

    PRINTS/ PRODUCTS:

    At present, I am using the platform Printful to manage the production and fulfilment of orders on art prints, cards, puzzles, and other goods. Printful can create a product and fulfill an order within 2–5 business days. Shipping time varies with product availability and delivery destination.
