H: In the art, the message that the people receive may not be the same that the artist wants to share. Do you have a message or something special that you want to share to the world, and that nobody has seen yet?

R: Every picture I made it has a story related with it's name, but of course not everyone sees in the same perspective. Many of my released covers have a different story than the one I imagined. you can check "Missives in red" artwork made for Mr Michael Randolph.
 

H: Any artist or person that you admire?

R: There's a lot of artists really doing amazing work more than I count, but my personal favorite are karezoid.deviantart.com, af-studios.deviantart.com, gloom82.deviantart.com

R: My personal favorite is " The Dark Lork" and "After Earth II"

H: Do you make art in other forms? Which?

R: Photo manipulation is my personal hobby, but I do Logo designs along with it.

R: I really like Lord of the rings Series it really inspires me I made "The dark lord" After The witch king of Angmar, Music bands I really love Imagine Dragons, Linkin park and Breaking Benjamin.
 

H: Are you working for any company right now or are you freelance?

R: In the meanwhile I work as a freelance since i still in college.

H: What do you like most, being part of a company or a freelancer, why?

R: I prefer being freelancer feels more comfort to be free, but i don't mind being part of a team in the future.

H: I have seen you made some covers using Avril Lavigne and Vanessa Hudgens. Have you ever being contacted by any professional artist to make the cover?

R: No, not really most of my work I interact with authors and models.

A: Most of the people in this side of the world only know about Egypt the pyramids. What are the most beautiful thing and place of Egypt in your opinion?

R: Yes, I noticed that a lot of people have a different idea about Egypt, but it's not just the pyramids our history extended more the 7000 years we have many historical places along with pyramids belong to many various cultures and religions.

H: I have contacted a lot of arabic people and they seem to be very friendly… sometimes too much. Is the arab culture so friendly always or was I too lucky?

R: Yes, it is.

H: A lot of professionals sacrifice their lives for their work. Do you achieve to manage a personal life with your work?

R: It's kind of hard to concentrate since I'm working and studying on the other hand, but It's going fine so far. 

H: You used to be Dash Th3me in Deviantart, why did you leave using it and what did it mean?

R: I started with Dash Th3me as a nick name, but afterward I want to go with my real name since it was needed for work credits.
 

H: What do the darkness and death mean to you? Also, a lot of your pictures have fire on them, what does the fire mean to you?

R: Death is a very mysterious for all of us and its inevitabilitym I find it kind of inspiring, and I like to use fire, it really beautiful element catches the eye.

H: I have interviewed young talented artist; but they are only in the amateur line. You seem to have a professional career with only 23 years old by now, why should a young boy be interested in art instead of anything else? How did you get the goal of living of the art so quickly?

R: I love art because it lets you escape reality. Its a really comforting form of self expression.
Personally, creative activities have always drawn my attention, from a young age I would draw, colour, cut and create! I'm still very much like this, I find myself losing track of time and working into the small hours.

H: Does your art give you enough income to live or do you must work in another stuff?

R: Not really because I'm between studying and working I didn't really started to settle.

H: Egypt used to have a very interesting culture of death. They used to see the death as a portal to another life in a very different way we are used to think about it. I have even read that they used to be happy if a crocodile eats one of their children because it was Sobek who took them. Now, this culture someway is gone, but I think that the feeling about the death remains. How does the islamic culture gets along with this feeling?

R: Egyptian culture always believed in the afterlife throughout the ages, All the Monotheistic religions mentioned the afterlife. All egyptian believes in afterlife, but when it comes to a crocodile eats one of their children i think it's a bit extreme.

H: I know the answer, but I want you to tell the readers, please. Does the islam forbids the art, the culture?

R: Of course not. On the contrary islam supports art you can see a lot of amazing and inspiring places is the Islamic culture, they excelled the architecture, decoration and painting.

H: Do you feel your art may be a way to haram/sin because you show the dark side of the beauty?

R: No, I don't find has anything to do with religion.
 

H: Would you like to keep your traditions of the Kemet (Ancient Egypt), or do you like the way it is right now Mesr (Nowadays Egypt), or do you want a piece of that and a piece of this? Which ones pieces?

R: We can't live in the past we keep out tradition and acclimate contemporary life.

H: Where do the people can contact you, and in which languages?

R: Please contact me via
FB page : facebook.com/ahmedshalaby.gallery
English /  Arabic.

H: Any final message to the readers?

R: Thanks for you times.

To the grille, Cotton Valent!

To read the spanish version of the interview, click here
 

Cotton Valent is a wonderful gothic artist from Thailand. She describes herself as a romantic dark artist. Her works resembles us the Tim Burton style, and also the art of Edward Gorey. She draws cute characters in a lolita-victorian fashion, funny circumstances and creepy (but welcoming) environments. She is a very productive girl, and has made a lot of work. 

Asura: Thank you for your time. It’s really an honor to have such a great artist with us. Could you please share with us your beginnings? Any influence?

Cotton Valent: Hello! Thank you for inviting me. I’m very pleased for interview!
I love drawing since I was very young and there were lots of scary stuff surrounded my childhood. My influence is a child fear, belief in something nonsense like when you break mirror and get bad luck or creepy rumors about the third door in the school restroom and 80’s and 90’s horror mangas told about school stories. Also, I had played Fatal Frame and Silent Hill.
Ironically I’m scared of ghosts but have a passion for them. I like daydreaming the horror and fantasy stories, how it looks like if I make comic, novel or animation. It would be fun to see my characters lost in twisted world to solve the problems until they had learned their lessons. Besides, I love designing dress. My mother don’t have much money so she advised me drawing my own paper dolls, so I opened Asari manga for reference and drew it (I think I should say “copy it”) That they I have found I also have passion for dress design.

A: You grew up in a village, how did you make contact with a different world such as the gothic?

C: I discovered from anime first (yep!) then cartoons and films. I remembered I have observed myself I always like character that have a huge dark color from there design or dark-looking characters. I don’t know how to explain it very clear, I think horror mangas made my test and preference.

A: I know Thailand has a good taste when horror is in the theme, because I have few movies from there and they’re good. How is the vision of Thailand about the other world/spiritual world/metaphysics?

C: Wow, you watch Thai movies! Happy to hear that!
I think our other world is similar to Chinese, Japanese, Indian and many Asian countries, We are not just believe in ghosts but also believe in spirits, some place have a little tiny houses for their stationed spirits (something like “Spirited away”) besides we believe in good deeds and sins, when you died, good deeds and sins will judge you what you will become in afterlife. 

A: What’s the inspiration or your muse to create your work? Can you tell us how is your creative process, from the creation of the idea until the final product?

C: My inspirations are from childhood, good films, good arts, good music, and good articles, the big inspiration is feeling and passion of create works. I cannot live without drawing and writing story.
When I want to create something I usually find the reference (mostly dresses) before start the process for various and not to be boring. But that’s for the illustration that ends in one image. When I’m going to create the story, it’s not easy like that. I need to know mind’s characters, their personality, their favorite/dislike things and their goal, so I need to find personality references for my character, too. Not just dresses and scenes. Example, Charlotte Hammer from my webcomic have a mind references from Jasmine’s Aladin, Ava Ire’s Ava’s demon, Alice Liddle and Dorothy Gale. These references guide me to understand my character how she will fix the situations. Anyway, the best personality guide is expression sketch. If you don’t know what’s next for your character, I recommend imagining random events for your character and sketch, it works, seriously.
I use Photoshop, clip studio paint, picma and pencil for working. 

A: How is the situation of the art in Thailand? Do the people like it and support the artist or do they just ignore them? How do you feel about this situation?

C: The art business is growing. Animation is a small business and a lot of people still thinking cartoons are just for kids and cannot let the idea to be creative, so most Thai animators work in others.
Comics are not as complex process as animation but most of the publishers are still working for children books, second is comic essay and the smallest business is manga/comic. Thailand has a bunch of awesome artists but few artists were admitted and mostly the artists that have worked for long time, so the new artists do not get very much attention.
Not many people want to support cartoon/anime business. Also don’t know the price of the artwork. By the way we have a small business like comicon for selling doujins and self-published books
Sounds sad but I hope it will be better in the future. 

A: In the art, the message that the people receive may not be the same that the artist wants to share. Do you have a message or something special that you want to share to the world, and that nobody has seen yet?

C: Actually, it depends on my mood. My messages usually mean “creepy is everywhere”. I like it when people look at my artwork and discover creepy spot even Creepy Cat. But for comic I want it deeper than creepy spot. Maybe something about the dark side in the world or human’s mind.

A: Any artist or person that you admire?

C: I’m not lying how much I love Abigail Larsson’s work. I rarely stop looking at Kira Imai’s art. I’m always want to see art book from Kunio Kato. Be excited every time when going to read newest Junji Ito’s manga and super happy when found new Tahahiro Uesugi’s art. So many artists to write!

A: Why do you use Cotton Valent as your name?

C: My real name is Woraya Chotikul and the nickname is “Fai” means cotton. I used just “Cotton” for few years and realized it’s too short so I needed another name on it. Valent just a random name that I found on internet, nothing special.  
A: I knew you because of your drawing of Wednesday Addams, and you got me forever with your Gwendoline. I felt in love of her. She is beautiful, charming, cute, and mischievous as the death must be. What can you tell us about her? Did you know in Mexico there is a reaper called Catrina?
 
C: Actually I created her because I saw many female death have skin and big boobs same as human but males are still skeletons, it does not mean I don’t like human-like death but just feel it’s too mainstream so I drew a female death that wants to be. Gwendoline is the ordinary death that work with other deaths. Her duty is to guide dead children to their afterlife.
I knew Catrina after Gwendoline had created for ages, I thought Catrina would be wearing colorful dress and big hat lol.

A: You also drawed about Wendy Persona. I read this character isn’t the reaper when she was alive. What can you tell us about this character?
 
C: Wendy Persona is the character for “Midnight Opera” graphic novel that had published in 2013, (thai language and it seems very hard for international publish).
Wendy is not a human nor death. She is just a faceless creature that wants to be an actress. 

A: You also have a tarot design, and I found that you have the cancer sign made, but I couldn’t find the whole zodiac. Will you finish it later? Is your tarot available for purchase?
 
C: Major tarot desk is already sold out and I have no time for zodiac project so there is stuck right there. I have so much projects to do right now *sob*

A: I love Gwendoline, she is my favorite so far, but all your work is awesome. Do you have any favorite work?
 
C: I don’t have any favorite work because I try to draw better everyday. When I just finish a work I will watch it all day but I start to feel bore in next day. It’s really different from watching another artists’ work. I never get bored. Also enjoy finding technic from their artwork and thinking why I like this work, because of the line art or color tone.  

A: You also have a comic called “The girl and the soul”. Could you share with us the background that moved you to create this art, and also tell us about it a little more, maybe something funny while creating it?
 
C: I have a bunch of original stories and “The girl and the soul” is the one of a few stories of mine that have an ending scene. Plot is used to be nonsense and nothing even an important message, just travel around the twisted work. The funniest moment is I never draw my characters with the same face in every scene. I’m glad I’m not an animator.  

A: Your “Creepy Cat” is also very popular. Would you tell us more about it? I saw in a picture that you have a cat, is he the main character, Meawbin (Flying cat in Thailand)? And the most important to me… why do the women love cats?
 
C: Creepy cat is just a thing that I spend time less than 3 hours to process.While drawing comic I was thinking I should have a small project with the story that’s not too deep and ends in one image as I don’t update it often when I need time to finish my comic. So Creepy Cat is just a doodle for (some) busy days.

None of my cats are white but some of them are fat so they are a good reference. Meawbin means flying cat, you’re correct.

Why do women love cats? I think men loves cats, too. It’s mysterious why we love cats. All of us are under their control.



A: You also sell pillows, but only in Asia, right?

C: Not just Asia. My products is selling around the world but international shipping is expensive….
 
A: You also have a book called “Rohesia”. What can you tell us about it?

C: “Rohesia” is a self-published book that had been sold in OC only event (something like small comicon in Thailand) in early 2014. It’s about a doll who has lost a heart that makes her different from other dolls and it’s not a warm-hearted comic (you have been warned). 

A: In your target list you wrote you are creating a cloth brand. How is it going?
 
C: OMG you saw it haha. It’s pretty far plan for my life right now. I have an impossible plan for design my own dresses and sell them on online shop so I need to be a millionaire to create that business but I don’t fear to daydream about it.

A: Do you make art in other forms? Which?
 
C: Just paper and digital, I never do crafts again after the sculpture class when I was in college, but I’m interested creating products. I used to think about making pendant but I must use rasin and many stuff and I don’t know someone is going to buy my products or not. I don’t know I should include creepy cat pillow here, I designed it but didn’t produce by my own.

A: Are you working for any company right now or are you freelancer?
 
C: Thai companies don’t like my style, so, yeah, I’m a freelance illustrator ,also I got few works to do so I have a lot of free time to draw my comic, sometimes I get commissions from deviantart, small payment from society6 and patreon. My current goal is sending my webcomic to some publisher.
Life is like a boat, need to keep going and don’t know what’s gonna happen next.
 

A: What do you like most, being part of a company or a freelancer, why?

C: I’m free from company rules. I can decide by my own what time should I wake up, what time should I sleep. If I’m hungry I can eat right now, I can stand up and walk while working if I feel stiff and need to rest. I can nap as long as I want. The best is I can pet my cats in every moment. And the worst is little income.

A: Are you having good income, enough to survive, with your art or do you work in something different to earn money? Where do people can buy your art?

C: I think I’m starving lol. I sell products sometimes which producing them take a whole lot of money so I do it occasionally. You can visit my print shop here http://society6.com/cottonvalent
 

A: Any more updates of your current art, or new characters/comics in the future?

C: “The girl and the soul” is in process and the story would be long, so the new characters will certainly come out. “Rohesia II” is also in the process but only in self-published book. If you’re going to ask about creepy cat, it will be a self-published small pocket book on Comic Avenue (something like comicon), october 2014.
I wish I had more life for drawing other stories that’s stuck in my head and have no time for them. I have many original stories, you know. Siara’s House, Tall tale & Glitched ghost, The Reaper, etc. This is really bad when you have tons of idea and plot but you do not enough time to do it all.

A: There are a lot of websites to contact you, where do the people can contact you, and in which languages?

C: English and Thai. I must say my English is weak so please forgive me if I don’t understand some sentences.

Loco

De nada sirve estar rodeado de gente,
si la soledad eterna es quien te acompaña.
De nada vale salir con la máscara de sonrisas falsas
para cubrir el tedio y el dolor de las horas amargas.

Un día más, un día menos, haciendo lo que detestas
para obtener lo que no necesitas.
Para cumplir con lo que ellos te han dictado que es lo correcto,
haciéndote creer que eres libre con cada cadena echada al cuello.

Plagada nuestra existencia de gente muerta en vida,
gente que teme no poder antes de intentar.
Afirman que ellos no han podido, no pueden,
ni podrán, tú no has de ser diferente.
Sin mayor problema ondeando la bandera de derrota
sin siquiera comenzar.

Con risas incrédulas te encomiendan no anhelar el cielo,
aconsejan no soñar, desear no tanto, no incomodes,
ni molestes, calla y vuela bajo buscando claros,
solamente agradece no estar arrastrando en el suelo .

Cuando por fin te encuentran hundido y en la normalidad de tantos ya perdido,
no habrás de necesitar ya tus pies, ni manos,
pues has dejado de ser 'tú' y siendo un 'nosotros',
listo te has de encontrar para sucumbir sin más en el olvido.

No todo lo nuevo es malo, ni todo lo pasado fue bueno.
No todo lo nuevo es bueno, ni todo lo pasado ha sido malo.

Para evolucionar démosle paso al instinto,
rasguemos la ropa, la piel y la carne hasta ver brotar la sangre de nuestras venas,
que nos recuerda que en el pecho habita un corazón sordo
que siente, que vive, que arde sin importar lo duro de las penas.

Si en la vida vas trazando metas posibles,
cuando haya terminado habrás hecho muchas cosas buenas
y tal vez conocido un poco de gloria.
Si tu vida vas marcando de metas imposibles,
cuando ésta termine muchos de ti se habrán burlado;
pero al haberlas alcanzado habrás hecho del mundo historia.

Sin importar su belleza o su desdicha vida sólo hay una,
y mientras en mi pecho exista un corazón vivo que arde,
no importará que por no seguirlos me llamen loco,
si al cumplir mis sueños dejo de ser al igual que ellos
un mísero cobarde.

Negros pétalos de terciopelo

Ella era
una tranquila y limpia sala de espera,
soleados días
y horribles padres.

Ella era una muñequita,
un zafiro,
una delicada rosa de negro terciopelo.
Ella era
alcohol,
alcohol,
y mas pinche alcohol.
Una bomba de tiempo,
sexo en todas partes,
excitantes esencias,
sangre y diamantes.

Ella era una doncella,
la reina de la salvaje pradera.
Letales y jugosos labios,
espinas en celo,
cuerpos ardiendo,
filosos colmillos,
dolor,
deseo,
y una traicionera luna llena.

Ella era un sanguinario acto,
cadenas,
sádicos juegos,
tortura,
locura,
gritos, lujuria y muerte.
 

Ella era una vampira,
mi ultima noche…

…la mejor.

Por Antonio Devadip

Sueño fugaz

Un día de estos…
el viento intruso de tu ventana
susurrará tu nombre,
peinará tus sueños.
El tiempo nos sentará en su ala,
volaremos juntos, sin ataduras,
planeando suavemente
al pie de los pastizales,
refrescándonos
con la lejana brisa
de tempestad urbana…

La luna es buena antorcha.
Tu ser mi más dulce sueño…
 

Un día de estos….

Por Christian García

Los Nadie

Quizás sea un sueño radical
buscar solidaridad,
que nadie olvide luchar
contra lo que le oprime.

Que no sea una mentira un nuevo despertar.
Que no sea un delito el poder pensar.
Que morir de pie sea un honor,
frente al horror de vivir sometido.

Que se vendan caros los sudores.
Que la única ley que exista
sea la de prohibir las patrias,
los dioses y los reyes.

Que cada quien tenga lo que necesite,
no las migajas que le arrojen.

Que no existan ningún ser ilegal.
Que se permita gritar sin censura.
Que se pueda besar sin medida.

Sentirnos orgullosos
de usar el corazón
en lugar de la razón.
Luchar por un mundo mejor.

Puede que todo esto
sea una banal Utopía;
pero no estamos solos…
Fortalecen nuestros lazos
obreros y campesinos.
Extienden fuerte sus brazos.

Porque ya son años
coleccionando decepciones,
derribando muros.

Porque somos mayoría
los que no tenemos sangre azul,
ni nobleza, ni linaje,
ni nada en los bolsillos;
vamos ligeros de equipaje.

Porque ya no hay nada que perder,
es tiempo de cosernos de nuevo las alas,
caminar unidos
y cobrar todas nuestras lágrimas.

Porque somos los de siempre,
 

somos los nadie…

Por Christian García

Feliciano me adora y le aborrezco

Feliciano me adora y le aborrezco;
lizardo me aborrece y yo le adoro;
por quien no me apetece ingrato, lloro,
  yal que me llora tierno, no apetezco.
A quien más me desdora, el alma ofrezco;
  aquien me ofrece víctimas, desdoro;
desprecio al que enriquece mi decoro,
  y al que le hace desprecios enriquezco.
Si con mi ofensa al uno reconvengo;
me reconviene el otro a mí ofendido;
  y a padecer de todos modos vengo;
pues ambos atormentan mi sentido:
Aquéste con pedir lo que no tengo;
  y aquél con no tener lo que le pido.

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

Sueños

Mis sueños ocultos
Atrapan  a un obsoleto lucero
Que apaga su última luz.
Mis sueños ocultos
Encierran versos
Que te pintan de luz.
Mis sueños ocultos
Transitan laberintos  de estrellas
Con pisadas de oro.
Mis sueños ocultos
Oscuras sombras
Sentadas en el banco de la plaza.
Mis sueños ocultos
Te buscan mis ojos
Veo una figura de sal
Que se desvanece bajo la lluvia.
Mis sueños ocultos
Le ponen alas a mi corazón
Me llevan a tu morada  de silencios.

Si te dieras cuenta

Si te dieras cuenta cuánto te quiero
Si te dieras cuenta
Que mi corazón se alborota
Cuando estás cerca mío
Si te dieras cuenta
Que mis ojos sólo ven por ti
Si te dieras cuenta
Cuál es mi secreto
Mi corazón saltaría de júbilo
Si te dieras cuenta
Lo que siento por ti
Descubrirías el porqué de mí
Sonrisa cómplice
Si te dieras cuenta de mi amor
Me buscarías en tu barca de sueños
Si te dieras cuenta cuanto te quiero
Beberías de mi boca el suave néctar
De mis besos
Si te dieras cuenta
¡Oh! Dulce amor
Si te dieras cuenta que sueño
El sueño de ser tu amada.

Diálogos con la obscuridad

-Tú que eres antes que la luz, eres a pesar de la luz, y persistes después de la luz, dime, pues has de tener sabiduría eterna e infinita, dime, ¿hay vida más allá de la muerte?

-Seguramente vienes a mí preguntando esto porque te han dicho tus amigos ñoños que no existe más allá que lo que la ciencia puede comprobar. La ciencia, es la nueva religión, lo que diga ella es lo que es y lo que no, no existe o está mal; pero, ¿qué no la ciencia fue hecha por el hombre? ¿Qué tanto puede alcanzar la ciencia sino simplemente estar a la par de su creador? ¿Y qué es el hombre sino un polvo que no afecta en nada al universo? Pero jugaré con sus reglas por ahora. ¿Has escuchado que nada se crea ni se destruye, sólo se transforma?

-Sí.

-Muy bien, entonces, ¿por qué la consciencia y la vida deberían ser la excepción?

-No veo motivo para que así sea.

-Entonces la cuestión ya está salvada, por razón pura hemos llegado a la conclusión de que sí existe algo más allá de la muerte. Ahora la prueba por práctica. ¿Has tenido experiencias con seres no materiales?

-No.

-Entonces tú tienes un problema. Si una antena no recibe señal, ¿de quién es la culpa, de la señal que viaja libremente o del receptor que no puede recibirla e interpretarla?

-Del receptor.

-Y ese es el enorme problema que tendrás. Hay muy pocos receptores que pueden vagamente interpretar más allá de sus sentidos físicos, y el resto, pasa de ignorante, como un gusano que sigue caminando sin saber que estuvo a punto de ser aplastado por un animal.

-¿Qué debo hacer para mejorar mi percepción más allá de los sentidos?

-El silencio. No busques a entes, no sabes con quién te toparás y seguramente no serán buenos contigo, la gran mayoría de los engañadores y malditos están buscando oportunidades de gente ilusa para arruinarles la existencia. El silencio te abrirá la mente, dormirá tus sentidos; pero debo advertirte de un gran peligro, uno tan grande que hace que la gente huya del silencio y viva en el ruido y la conglomeración.

-¿Cuál?

-En el silencio te conocerás a ti mismo, con tus virtudes y defectos, y eso, mucha gente no lo aguanta.
