Title: Yaso: Vampire artbook
Post by: Lotus Petal on July 20, 2008, 06:56:34 pm
Hey everyone... I'm back from San Jose with an awesome treasure: the "Yaso: Vampire" artbook. It features the art pieces of each of the artists from the event, with one of them being Ayami Kojima. It's soft-cover, and the printing of the pages is extremely high quality, with glossy paper.
I've decided to scan her art for you guys. There are a few pictures you've all seen before, but also a couple I don't think will be familiar to anybody. Aside from the art, there is an interview with her and an overview of her art career, but it's all in Japanese so I can't read it. :( But I notice they talk about "Castlevania" and "Dracula X (SotN)" in there. :)

Enjoy, everyone.  ;)

I do apologize for the blurring around the edges where the page meets the binding; I refuse to pull the pages out for a completely flat scan.

You guys are very welcome! It's my pleasure.  ;)

Actually, there were a few more copies of it available at the store I went to. It's this neat place called Kinokuniya Bookstore... lemme get you guys a link.  :)

www.kinokuniya.com (http://www.kinokuniya.com)

You can search this place in English or Japanese-- they should have it available. Look under the San Jose store. :)

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you guys... I asked Kinokuniya if they had any Ayami Kojima stuff and they said they didn't currently, but that she has an ARTBOOK coming out sometime soon (possibly later this year!), they're just waiting for it to get published, but it's listed!!!

My brother-in-law said he'd check back with the store on a regular basis to let me know when they've got it in. I'm so excited!!!  ;D

My sig :D And yeah, although I've seen most of those, it's still a great find.

Also, that artbook is something I'd really like to get. Although I'd have to hide it...*glances to the left, at my mother, typing mysteriously on her laptop*...from her. Probably only check it when no one's home.

Again, I don't know what she'd think if I was looking at stuff like this...

Does your mother think negatively about Ayami Kojima or gothic stuff? >.< Why?

*sigh* I would also really want that artbook. >.<

I wouldn't doubt it if his mom was a bible-hugging Christian. Maybe because of all her dark, gory, gothy, **** stuff. I believe that Yaso book also has some nudity...  ::)

Logical Fallacy, CVfan13. Hasty Generalization.  ;) There are plenty of "bible-hugging Christians" who don't mind blood, gore, and.well I dunno about the crazy mansex part. >D Ehem. There are also plenty of people who disapprove of such things even if they aren't "bible-hugging Christians". ;D

Yeah.... well, I just think badly of people who oppose Goths and Gothic things. I also oppose those who are obssed with religion so... I just connected the dots!  ;D
