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. THE FRONT COVER: Page 1: Page 2: Page 3: Page 4: Page 5: Page 6: Page 7: Page 8: Page 9: Page 10: Page 11: Page 12:

You guys are very welcome! It's my pleasure. *drops bar of yummy delicious gourmet chocolate*

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.comYou 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!!!

My sig 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...

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...
