What kind of pencils and pens do you use to do your art?
Just the typical mechanical number 2 pencil and an assorted set of Micron pens. Nothing special really.

How do you color your pictures? I mainly use Photoshop, sometimes Illustrator as well as traditional media like prisma markers and pencils.

Do you do requests or trades?
I don't have time to do requests. I have too many projects to work on currently,so unless it's a paid commissoin I can't, sorry. Trades are sticky, I don't usually do them often as I have had situations where I do a pic and get nothing in return.If you want to do a trade and I *accept* then you will have to do your half first.

Do you take commisions?
Yes, please see my store page for some rough pricing information.

Where can I find the comics you've been published in?
You can find the Mangaphile books at Radio Comix main page look under the shopping catalogue.(Now with links in the publications page. You can use credit cards or snail mail for payment. Antarctic Press also has online ordering pages for books check there as well.You can also check Rabbit Valley for the Shanda Fantasy books. You can also check your regular comic book store. Unfortunately, Diamond Comics doesn't always have the names of artists in the books I am in because of deadlines for publications change so I wouldn't be able to tell you which book I am in until they tell me.

I really like your characters can I draw fanart?
Yes, but I ask that you follow these guidelines. No nudity, no drugs, no sexual situations or anything that is over a pg rating. Please put my copyright information on said picture like Zorichan is the intellectual property of Mary Bellamy 1997-2006. That being said, drop me an email if you have done fanart so I can see it and most likely post it to my guest art page.

You have some really cool art, can I post it to my site and use it for avatars (pictures that represent yourself online)?
No I do not wish to have my art redistributed online. If you want to save it to your hard drive to look at that's ok but no unathorized posting or selling of my art is allowed. Just because it's online doesn't mean its free. (See http://www.whatiscopyright.org/)

Can I use your art for custom sigs or web graphics for chat rooms or email signatures?
No. I do not want my artwork altered in any way or redestributed period. Sorry. If you want to commission a specific piece of artwork from me and pay for it that is one thing. But anything else is unacceptable.

Can I please link your art to my page/blog/website?
Sure I don't mind a link to my art but I do not want to have you actually hotlinking my pictures to your pages. If you really just have to have my fanart on your lj etc please download your own copy and repost it and then of course link back to my website. Hotlinking kills my bandwidth and is generally frowned upon.

I learn to draw by tracing can I post traced pictures of your art online?
Again, no. My images are protected by copyright and it is generally considered rude to post traced or copied pictures online.

What should I do if I see someone copying your art online?
Please email me and let me know the place and the pictures being copied so I can check it out.
