Artist: @mimisempai​ on Tumblr and Twitter

Preferred Name: I love my first name Myriam but as my mum used it when I did bad things, I go for Mimi.

Do you have a favorite movie? The Green Miles

Who is your favorite artist? Singer + actor : Raul E Esparza Painter : Monet Writer : Coelho

How did you start getting involved in fan art? I am a huge manga fan and have beginning to make manga coloring 10 years ago.

How did you get involved with Barisi? The departure of Barba in SVU, I wanted to see more of him and I like a lot Sonny’s character.

What inspires you to create? I think emotions and to give life to what I see in my imagination; it’s often after reading a fanfic.

Do you plan out the stuff you want to create or do you just start and see where it leads? I have a general idea, but nothing concrete and I let it inspire me along the way

What is your favorite piece that you have created? I think this one:

And this video clip about Barisi:

What is your personal favorite fanfic? (Can be any fandom) How Sonny and Rafael Got Their Groove Back from Kaye_21 is the one I reread a loooot

Anything else you would like to add? About the last question, I read fanfics from 3 fandoms Stony, Chilly and Barisi. I don’t think I read a fanfic that I didn’t really like in the Barisi fandom. You are all amazing writers, really, each of you as their style and that’s why it’s for me thrilling each time I have a new story or chapter notification because I know I will enjoy my reading ! Thank you 🥰

Artist: @lemonyyellowboi​ or minato_i34

Preferred Name?

finn or my twitter handle also works

Do you have a favorite movie?

Can't pick a fav ;-) but in that list: .A Single Man (2009) Also animated films from Studio Ghibli: (They are on Netflix NOW!) .Spirited Away (2001) .Howl's Moving Castle (2004) .Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) …ect.

Who is your favorite artist?

Again can’t pick a fav, it’s a really large category! Obviously I can’t stress enough how amazing Raúl Esparza is. Hate I wasn’t a 2000s New Yorker. (too much to ask lol) Um and I've been listening to this Japanese band Yorushika a lot... like, a LOT. https://youtu.be/BCt9lS_Uv_Y

How did you start getting involved in fan art?

I was in a comic club in high school, and fanarting (lol that’s not a word) is a huge part of what we do! And there is a whole online community, events and stuff. It’s great fun!

How did you get involved with Barisi?

I started watching SVU maybe August 2018? on tv because I recognized Raúl (Must be a S16 episode with his Chilton not-quite beard. It’s so funny in hindsight because I think if it wasn’t that specific look I would’ve never. Barba and Chilton look so different in normal times lolllll Lucky me.) And I binge watched s14-19? in personal record speed (and designated SVU as my background show.) And at some point I went on tumblr and tumblr was like “yoooo look at those gays” I was like “oh fuck” *opens AO3* *reads all of them* and that’s that!

What inspires you to create?

Mostly the perhaps unintentional chemistry between characters, the not-that-sub subtext. And sometimes I just want to see them do certain things. I feel like there are stories that I can and want to give them?

Do you plan out the stuff you want to create or do you just start and see where it leads?

I mostly have to have some sort of generally picture worked out before I really start so it makes more sense in my head. And the logistic issue? I can't stare at my iPad and ⌘+z-ing 40 hours a day ;-)

What is your favorite piece that you have created?

https://lemonyyellowboi.tumblr.com/post/187461948694/ and I just realized I didn't title it.

What is your personal favorite fanfic? (Can be any fandom)

I'm so bad at this pick a favorite thing lolllllll Barisi-wise, I've always hold Hiding Places by Kaye_21 near and dear to my heart, among lots of other great works, we are blessed with so many talented writers…

Anything else you would like to add?

Thank you for liking my stuffs, and thank you for reading this! I may not seem so interactive on twitter(I’m v shy) but I really want to get more involved with the fandom! ;-)

A question you’d like to ask another artist?
