Introduce yourself

🥁 Hej! I'm Glutton, a Danish artist who likes Touhou, books, and mythology. I don't really have a favorite song, but I like ShibayanRecords very much :DYou can find my art at https://gluttoncanart.tumblr.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/gluttoncanart/ 🎷 Hi, I'm Grune! I have a minor obsession with dragons, and in addition to art I also make posable art dolls. Find me here: https://twitter.com/grunesdragon?s=09 🎸 Hello! I'm Dante, and I've been a digital artist for about 5 years! This is my second time as a contributor in a zine and I'm excited to be here! 🎻 I'm a digital artist/madman who posts some art to instagram (@frenchyart) and twitter (@izzyfrenchart). I'm partial to cookies and ska, and I hate bugs.

Do you do commissions post? Where can we find the info?

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🥁 When drawing I usually like to listen to some remixes of Touhou music, especially from ShibayanRecords. They're my favorite, after all! 🎷 I usually listen to video game LPs, but have an assortment of VGM, metal, and who knows what else on the music playlist as well! 🎸 Yes! I listen to a variety of music when drawing. 🎻 Yes, usually whatever genre I can get my gritty hands on.

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🥁 ShibayanRecords will probably always be my favorite. I really love their Toho Bossa Nova albums, which are really great for drawing. However, if I had to ask them something, then I'd like to know why they're specifically choosing to do arrangements of Touhou music. 🎷 Dear Susumu Hirasawa - What's your biggest worldly inspiration for your unique, rich sound? 🎸 I'd have to say Green Day! For the question I'd probably ask Billie Joe Armstrong about the difficulties of being bi in the 1990's when Green Day was really big. 🎻 It has to be Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, and I would ask them "How are you so energetic at the age of 50?"

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🥁 I actually do not, however, I'd like to play the piano, or something similar. 🎷 I'm learning the ocarina! Doot doot 🎸 I used to play the clarinet! However, I'd also like to learn bass guitar :) 🎻 I play piano, trumpet, trombone, ukelele and guitar.

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🥁 I'm going to draw "After Higan Retour" from "Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red" by ZUN. 🎷 Susumu Hirasawa - Niwashi King 🎸 American Idiot by Green Day! 🎻 Orange County by Dylan Kanner

What do you expect from this zine?

🥁 A lot of cool art and music, of course! 🎷 Variety! 🎸 To have a good time and to challenge myself creatively! I mostly draw fanart so I can't wait for how my final piece will come out :D 🎻 I dunno. Friends? Exposure?

🎤 Hi! I'm an animation/illustration major with an interest in LGBT asian history/ historical fiction ^^  I'm @jkimdraws on instagram, twitter, and tumblr! 🥁 I'm a 21-year-old agender artist from Nigeria. I like rugby, horror and playing fun survival games. I can wiggle both my ears by just thinking about it. I make both digital and traditional art, but I prefer traditional because of the feeling in my hand.My twitter: https://twitter.com/bi_jackass My insta: https://www.instagram.com/abami.eda/ My tumblr: https://jack-of-all-bullshit.tumblr.com/ My website: https://sites.google.com/view/jackjonesnga/home 🎷 I’m an animation major based in Australia, focusing more on illustration, character design, storyboarding, and animatics! I’m super into cryptids, paranormal events, and ethereal entities, as well as the joys of space and the great beyond. I’m currently super into a few musicals, as well as Good Omens, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Dungeons and Dragons, and like to dabble in writing in the wee hours of the morning when I should be asleep.I’m also on pretty much every social media so there’s no escaping! JK, but you can find my usernames below Instagram: paranormaljackal Twitter: paranrmljackal Tumblr: paranormaljackal 🎺 Jenny Peng is a New York City based designer and illustrator. Graduated from Fashion Institute of Technology in Illustration, she spends her time designing characters and the worlds that they live in. 🎻 Hello! My name's Karen and I'm a mexican concept art student that loves CCS and Naruto.

🎤 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-decoAyp_/ 🎷 https://sites.google.com/view/paranormal-jackal/commission-info

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🥁 I watch Game Grumps videos sometimes and listen to horror podcasts like The Magnus Archives. For music choices, I bounce around between Owl City, Fela Kuti, Dead Kennedys, Asha, Queen, Green Day,  P!ATD, Brockhampton and Fall Out boy. So a majority of rock/rap/electronic stuff 🎷 I have about fifty different character playlists that I cycle through, as well as Game Grumps compilations as background noise. 🎺 I'm always listening to music when I'm working on a creative piece. I find it motivating and helps me put more "soul" in my pictures. 🎻 Yes! I've been listening to the Black Eyed Peas latest record a lot as well as my favorite telenovela, Bety La Fea. I also listen to one of my favorite movies, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, a lot and Arrested Development.

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🎤 Probably Tatsuro Yamashita! 🥁 My current favorite is Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys/Guantanomo School of Medicine and if I could ask him one question it would be  "How do you write your songs in such a simple but powerful way?" 🎷 I really love Queen, especially since the CD would always be on repeat when I was a kid growing up. I think if I could ever ask them a question, I think it would be where the inspiration from their songs all sparked from, what the underlying backstory or meaning behind them were. 🎺 It's always changing so its hard to say. Currently it's Brockbeats 🎻 My favorite band would be Last Dinosaurs, I really like the soft and dance sound they've got. I'm not much of a music fangirl so I wouldn't know what to ask lol

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🎤 Nope! 🥁 I can play the guitar and currently trying to figure out playing the drums 🎷 Like a lot of folks, I was forced to learn the infernal recorder that parents always regret. However, I would love to learn how to play the piano! 🎺 I don't anymore but I used to play the piano and would love to pick it up again. 🎻 No ): I've always wanted to play the violin but never got to take classes.

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🎤 159cm by Tenny 🥁 "Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins Coming Clean - Green Day" 🎷 I’m going to be drawing Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene by Hozier, as well as Spring and a Storm (Demo) by Tally Hall 🎺 I'm mostly into Alternative. 🎻 Running Up that Hill- Kate Bush

What do you expect from this zine?

🎤 I hope to be able to find some new tunes to listen to and follow some more cool artists! 🥁 To make some friends, make good art and have fun 🎷 I expect to push myself into finishing a larger piece than I have in the past, whilst also challenging myself to try new methods and improve in areas. 🎺 I'm usually creating artwork with music in the background. It's a good change of pace to draw music, one of my muses, actually paying attention to the sounds and lyrics and making something out of it. The background becomes the foreground, and I'm excited to see what I'll create with that in my mind. 🎻 I'm really excited to see the different interpretations of songs. I tend to be very literal so abstract interpretations baffle me!

🎤 Hi! I'm Bluzumara. I'm a  spanish artist more focused on digital art, and interested on manga creation. You can find me on Deviantart (Bluzumara), on Twitter (@AlmaViajero for art twitter or  @Bluzumara for personal) 🥁 Hi!! I'm bom, I do digital art and draw lots of cute ladies! I love dnd and I'm making an upcoming wlw zine featuring big women! I also love making new characters to sell to people! You can find my art at the following links! https://instagram.com/bombiibom/ https://twitter.com/bombombii/ https://www.deviantart.com/bombombii I follow back as well! 🎷 I'm an artist that enjoys both digital and traditional art.

I'm currently in University studying character design and Illustration, and you can find most of my work posted to instagram. ->https://www.instagram.com/boredlydoodling/

🎺 Hello! I'm a nonbinary autistic guy. I love cartoons and drawing and I'm currently going to school to be a storyboarder. You can find me on tumblr at https://hey-lil-artslut.tumblr.com/ on twitter at https://twitter.com/HeyLilArtslut and on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/heylilartslut/ 🎸 Well... This is my first ever zine! I'm generally shy and awkward so please excuse how most of this is worded, I do tend to ramble, sorry;; I'm both a digital and traditional artist (I'm doing digital for this zine though hehe), and I'm currently mostly into Touhou and Granblue at the moment. You can find my art here!!: https://twitter.com/Bubblesdoodles 🎻 Hello, I'm a traditional artist.

Do you do commissions post? Where can we find the info?

🎤 https://twitter.com/AlmaViajero/status/1171118754249490433 🥁 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zCPqkp7ii/ 🎷 https://www.instagram.com/p/By0mjHlFdld/ 🎺 https://hey-lil-artslut.tumblr.com/post/186570288557/heyyy-ive-been-struggling-financially-since-my

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🎤 Yes. For some reason, I can't stand podcasts or anything like that, so music is my go-to option 🥁 I watch a lot of speedruns or gaming vids when I draw! I love having constant commentary to give me background noise. 🎷 Totally! I usually can't do anything in silence, but I find music tends to help me more with my schoolwork while a fun movie or tv show is put on for personal drawings! I have a soft spot for animated pieces while I'm drawing.   🎺 Yes, I listen to music, cartoons, youtube videos and movies 🎸 I do listen to music when I draw!!

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🎤 Parov Stelar. I would ask them about the starts of their career. How did they started to work to the public and how scary did they feel about it 🥁 I'm really into Ghost right now! I love their spooky tunes and the melody go HARD! 🎷 I'm not sure I have one! I like all kinds. Fan creators. Vocaloids like Miku and Rin and Len, classic artists like Supertramp and I grew up listening to Nickelback, Def Leopard, and Bon Jovi. I would, however, love to ask every single one what their favourite part of music and performing is! Because to me, music is so special and can affect emotions and events, so I would love to hear what goes through some singer and songwriter heads! 🎺 My favorite band is Mother Mother 🎸 I'm not quite sure exactly who my favorite is, considering I have quite a few favorites, I guess I should say Mili since my favorite song is from them. As for asking them whatever question I want? I guess I'd probably ask them which of their songs are connected into a story? 🎻 I really enjoy the music of Lenka. If I could ask her a question, I would ask if her songs are based on her life experiences.

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🎤 I don't play anything. But I would love to play the violin...Or realistically, the flute 🥁 Id love to play the keyboard or guitar! I'm not musically inclined so the best I could do is a uke or otomone (they're so cute hehe) 🎷 I play piano! Not very well, but I learnt it a few years ago and I still mess around with it from time-to-time. 🎺 I can just barely play the ukulele and the piano. I'd really love to learn to play the keyboard 🎸 I don't! I guess It'd be fitting for me if I knew how to play a trumpet, so that I suppose.

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🎤 All Night, By Parov Stellar 🥁 A Thousand Eyes by Miracle of Sound, Night of the Werewolves by Powerwolf and Handmade Heaven by MARINA 🎷 I will be drawing the song "Melt" originally performed by Hatsune Miku, though I'll be focusing on the version covered by Youtuber JubyPhonic. 🎺 I am going to draw Death of a Bachelor by Panic! At the Disco & possibly another! 🎸 Ga1ahad and Scientific Witchery 🎻 Lenka - "Maybe I Love You"

What do you expect from this zine?

🎤 I don't expect anything. More than anything, I expect myself to be able to finish it on time! 🥁 I expect to see many great arts from other contributors! Find new artists to follow and new music to listen too! 🎷 A fun time and a lot of beautiful works of art that express how important and magical music can be! 🎺 I'm just really excited to see everyone's pieces! 🎸 I just hope to gain some experience and confidence from it! 🎻 I look forward to a friendly community of artists working together to put together a nice publication.

Introduce yourself

🎤 HI! I'm a geeky, introverted artist who likes to explore many artistic mediums, but really only posts digital art. I kinda like to draw anything and everything, but recently I've been trying to focus more on my OC's! Besides art, I love reading, playing video games (despite the fact that I haven't played many recently) and I like writing stories too. In the future, I plan to create a webcomic story with my OC's. I hope you enjoy my work! Here's where you can find my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_creativert_/

🥁 Hi! I'm Abel. I'm a Design and Mech engineering student, but my passion is art. I love drawing and currently I'm working on my dream project, a comic named FIVE. This takes most of my free time, but besides that I'll be either rping, watching a movie with my friends, reading (usually webcomics) or listening to some tunes while charging my energy up. I preffer digital art over traditional, you can fix mistakes so very easily... I also get more freedom with a program than with the limited tools I own (and it looks way cleaner and nicer when I upload a digital pic than a traditional, but my photography skills are to blame there lmao)If you want to read my comic, it's up on tapas! https://tapas.io/series/FlVE But if you'd rather see some illustrations and doodles you should check my tumblr: https://abel-draws.tumblr.com/ 🎷 Hi! I'm an avid 3-d and 2-d idol fan as well as a bee fanatic!! Drawing/painting is mostly a hobby for me, but in the future, if time ever allows it, I'd like to sell every so often. My default medium is digital using program SAI but sometimes I'll pick up a pencil/watercolors for traditional pieces. If you'd like to take a look at some of my other works/doodles, my art twitter is here @ https://twitter.com/hiwamaari . 🎺 I’m predominantly a digital artist! But I also crochet, sew, and embroider! I’m Andiavang across all platforms! 🎸 Hi, my name is Antonia, I'm an artist who does traditional hand drawn art. I love to draw and listen to music, often in tandem with each other. You can find me on tumblr @chibiranmaruchan

🥁 https://abel-draws.tumblr.com/post/184015135166/commissions-are-open-i-renewed-my-commissions 🎺 https://andiavang.tumblr.com/post/186764888718/commissions-are-open-all-payment-through-paypal

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🎤 Yes! I actually create a new playlist every month filled with songs that have recently come out, or new songs I found that I really like! Generally, I'll listen to music when sketching but once I get to the lineart and colors, I'll listen to podcasts. For podcasts, I really like story podcasts and true crime podcasts. A couple of my favorites are Crime Junkies, Myths and Legends, The Bright Sessions and The Edge of Sleep.

🥁 *Yes*. All the time. I don't usually watch shows while drawing because my atention is all focused on the piece at hand, so... I miss most of it x'D so I preffer listening to music by a mile. It also helps me get myself in a nice mood for drawing <3 🎷 I mostly listen to music, generally one song or album of whatever artist I'm vibing to at the time. Constant repeat lately has been Blackbear's Anonymous album and Mesemoas. 6th single, Crossing Threads. Solid 12/10 🎺 I mostly listen to music! Sometimes I listen to a Podcast instead 🎸 I do listen to music while I draw, if I'm on a tight deadline where I need to focus, I listen to the Pokémon mystery dungeon red and blue recuse team OST. If I have plenty of time to draw, then what I listen to depends on what I'm drawing. it may be where I am getting inspiration from or connected to the aesthetic of the drawing or directly connected to it.

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🎤 Oohhh, this is pretty hard honestly. I don't really think I can choose a favorite, but no matter who I'd choose, I'd probably ask them who or what encouraged them to keep going along the path they chose.

🥁 Currently it's panic! At the disco, I'm listening to all their songs on loop constantly lmao. They have such great songs, they inspire me a *lot*. I even created a character based on one of their songs, he's the one I'll be drawing for this zine!:DI'd ask them about the meaning behing lots of their songs <3 The interviews at hand do not satisfy my curiosity enough lmao.I also love Halsey (her first album is my fave), Set it off, Maldita Nerea (a Spanish group) and plenty of musicals (Hamilton, Be more chill...) 🎷 I've so many favorite music artists its so hard to choose, but if I had to pick one, the male J-idol group ARASHI. And if I had to ask them a question, I'd ask them if they're happy and enjoying life well. 🎺 My fave band is Placebo! If hav to ask them what their inspiration would be for their early songs 🎸 My favourite artist is Hikaru Utada and I would ask her if she likes her pre-existing songs, some being based on her life, being used for kingdom hearts or if she would prefer to make songs specifically for the game, about the game itself?

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🎤  I have a guitar, but I'm still learning how to play that, and definitely want to dedicate more time to that in the future. I'm also kind of interested in learning the piano or violin!

🥁 Nope, but I *wish*, I have such admiration for people who do, seriously. Live music is the best. I'd love to learn how to play the piano, the guitar or maybe the ukelele... But I doubt I will, at least for now, my hands are pretty full with college and comic making. 🎷 I wish I could play the piano and any string instrument. Maybe violin or the harp. 🎺 I used to play the drums 🎸 I can play basic piano. I used to play a recorder when I was much younger.

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🎤 Magic Island by TXT and Audio by Sia, Diplo and Labrinth

🥁 King of the clouds, by panic! At the disco. 🎷 To the Me of Those Days - KOKIA 🎺 Special K by Placebo 🎸 Sanctuary by Hikaru Utada & Slow dancing in the dark by Joji

What do you expect from this zine?

🎤 To see everyone create a work they're proud of based off of a song they like!

🥁 I just really liked the theme, I have all kinds of imagery and videos in my head about several songs I'm obsessed with. It's a nice excuse to draw a pretty, fleshed out illustration and to learn some new songs in the way from the others' pieces<3    🎷 To be introduced to many different genre's of music and to hopefully find a song/genre I didn't expect to like! 🎺 Mostly just to interact with different people and artists! Make same new friends! 🎸 I expect to see a wide range of music presented, of different genres and both lyrical and instrumental. I hope the music resonates with the individual, something they're proud to share with the other participants and the eventual readers. I would like to have a journey through the zine, experiencing different emotions from everyone's art pieces.

Anything else you want to add?

🎤 Everyone has been super nice so far, and I really look forward to seeing everyone's pieces!

Introduce yourself

🎤 I'm an art student, soon to get my college degree. I've been drawing all my life, but just recently got into digital art. My art is in magicbehindwords(tumblr) and  caroe.juarez(instagram) 🥁 I'm an queer autistic student and traditional artist in Arizona. My work revolves around my original characters and storylines, Dungeons and Dragons, and media I love. I and my art can be found at http://twitter.com/xeIsin or http://instagram.com/renlaste . 🎷 I'm both a traditional and digital artist who just likes to draw things and people I love! I also enjoy reading manga and playing mobile games! You can find my art on: IG: https://Instagram.com/catshew.li Twt: https://twitter.com/catshewli 🎸 Good day everyone. I'm Chao Warrior, an aspiring character designer and future manga creator! You might know me from Red Zone Vol.1, and I couldn't resist joining this one! I am a digital artist who has a distinct style based on Pop'n Music and Puyo Puyo. I also designed an outfit for the now defunct Miitomo app. You can find me on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/MusouChaoPop), Tumblr (http://superchaomusou.tumblr.com/), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/cosmicwarriorchao/), Art Fight (https://artfight.net/~ChaoGalaxyWarrior, account required to view), and Pixiv ( https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=5816731).

🎷 https://www.instagram.com/p/B03Maj5FU7N 🎸 https://twitter.com/MusouChaoPop/status/1125772440892624896

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🎤 Yes, always. 🥁 I listen to music that gets me in the right mood, sometimes game or film soundtracks, or oftentimes let's plays or other video projects by creators I like. 🎷 I usually put on some music or use the TV as background noise 🎸 It depends on the drawing. If it's a simple doodle, then I most likely won't play anything while drawing. Though for more detailed art, I play music that relates to the mood of the final piece. 🎻 I listen to background music like jazz and video game OSTs while drawing but occassionally I'll put on a nostalgic playlist.

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🎤 Too many to count. And I don't want to ask them anything, I just hope saying" thank you" would be enough. 🥁 My favorite artist is David Bowie and has been for my whole life, but for that whole time I've never been able to come up with a pressing question I would ask him, especially that hasn't been covered in his extensive body of work and interviews. 🎷 EXO and Day6 are my favourite artists. If I could ask them anything, I'd ask them if I could have a hug 🎸 I'm sure many people like musical celebrities like Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, and Micheal Jackson, but for me, I'm more into the obscure and lesser known artists. My favourite artist of all time? It's Akiko Shikata, a Japanese musical artist and music box musician. Her songs are considered to be one of the most amazing fantasy songs I've ever heard, and they contain a lot of emotions that I cannot express myself. If I were to meet her in person, I would ask her what inspires her songs. 🎻 It's hard to choose a favorite, but right now I'd say AWOLNATION. I'd ask Aaron Bruno, the lead singer, if he would hang out with me one day in the studio.

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🎤 I played the guitar a little when i was a kid. And I hope to continue at some point in my life. I also sing. 🥁 I'm a classically trained singer, practiced in alto and tenor ranges. 🎷 I used to play piano! 🎸 I don't, but I have considered playing a violin. 🎻 I don't play an instrument but I would love to play a piano, I inherited one from my late Nana and I'd love to learn how to compose my own music on it.

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🎤 Plant life by Owl city 🥁 Lucretia My Reflection - The Sisters of Mercy 🎷 La vie en rose (still unsure)   🎸 I will create pieces for two pieces, one for a song by my favourite artist; Akiko Shikata (星詠 ~ホシヨミ~), and one from my favourite rhythm game; Pop'n Music (MADSPEED狂信道) 🎻 I'm going to draw to Eterna Forest by Pokemon and Awake at Night by half•alive.

What do you expect from this zine?

🎤 That everyone has a great time. 🥁 I'm not sure what I expect. This is my first time participating in a zine, though, so I'm excited to have my work published in some capacity. 🎷 More music suggestions and nice art 🎸 I look forward to see how others portray the songs of their choice in a creative way. 🎻 I expect to find new inspiring music from my fellow ziners!

Introduce yourself

🥁 Hi my name is Doomsweater or Aki and i'm a cartoony artist who loves Danganronpa and plenty of other things! Im a mostly digital artist but its honestly hard to find any of my recent art cause i'm dead on most of my social medias. But you can find my older art on my DeviantArt (Doomsweater89) and my twitter @Aki_Rainbowgays 🎺 I am a digital artist, also learnt how to animate so I consider myself an animator (despite not animating as much since finishing uni), I also like manga and anime, books and movies and I play a lot of games, the two I play almost exclusively everyday is league of legends and final fantasy 14!! I'm also into history and You can find my art on my tumblr art blog and my twitter here: https://twitter.com/art_emsi and https://emsi-art.tumblr.com/ 🎸 Heyo I'm flor, a digital artist and I have a lot of love to give. All my links are here: https://campsite.bio/floramy 🎻 I'm known as Fairy in most Internet circles. I've been known to do both traditional and digital art, and absolutely love magical creatures! Dragons are my favorite but I like most others as well. Beyond drawing I love playing video games, sewing cosplays, and cats. You can find me at various places, and check out all the links to them here: https://linktr.ee/fairythearthog

Do you do commissions post? Where can we find the info?

🥁 Well I dont have a post but https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/652005504759103513/652005627648016424/Quick_Commisshie_sheet.png here's the link to the sheet 🎸 https://lordfloramy.wixsite.com/portfolio/commissions 🎻 https://fairythearthog.wordpress.com/art-commissions/

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🥁 All the time! If i'm not listening to music I have YouTube videos on in the background and it helps keep my ADD Brain interested in things 🎺 I do listen to music, I also sometimes put on youtube videos, and rarely but sometimes but on a show to listen to in the background. 🎸 Yep ! I listen to youtube video essays about movies, shows and stuff, my taste changes pretty often. Also, podcasts, my favorite is The Adventure Zone. 🎻 Not always, but I do! I cycle between TV shows, Youtube, Podcasts, and Music.

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🥁 Oh gosh that's a hard question but I guess my current favorite artist is Cavetown and I would ask what inspired the songs Home or Talk To Me. 🎺 One of my favourites its actually Babymetal, and I would like ask them if I could what did they think of metal and rock in general when they started and what they think of it now? 🎸 "Hm, that's always been a hard question for me. My taste changes pretty often and I find myself having kind of a frankenstein playlist of a bunch of artists and genres, so choosing one is hard. I guess OneRepublic and Mika have always been somewhere near the top tho so I'm gonna go with them. I don't really have any questions? I guess I'd thank them for sharing their stuff and say I'm glad we're alive at the same time :]" 🎻 I listen to various types of bands and music so this question is always hard! I guess one band I like is Skillet. I'm not quite sure what I would ask since I would be so anxious and starstruck!

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🥁 I played the Viola for about 3 years in middle school but haven't done it since 🎺 I don't but I would like to properly learn how to play the guitar and also the violin, which I did start learning as a kid but I gave up too soon on it and even now I still regret it a little. 🎸 I do play the acoustic guitar for fun, I don't know many things, but when i hear a song I like in a video game or show I learn it and play it for my enjoyment. 🎻 I used to play the flute, and occasionally play the Ocarina for fun.

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🥁 I'm drawing No More by Versache and Borderline by Thomas Sanders 🎺 I am doing Nine in the Afternoon by Panic! at the Disco 🎸 Marchin On by OneRepublic, which is my long time favorite and x by x which i currently love very much. 🎻 "Stardust" by T&Sugah and "I'm Not Afraid" by Tom Profitt

What do you expect from this zine?

🥁 I'm not sure honestly, this is my first Zine so I have no idea what to expect but i'm excited!! 🎺 I expect to see a good arrange of different art styles and also maybe even find new music to listen to from the selection that people have chosen, as well as helping me with doing more art and getting out there more in the art community. 🎸 Honestly, to try out some new things in my art style and to see everyone's finished work, that's always fun. 🎻 Lots of cool artists being shown off.

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🎤 yup! usually music~ mostly pop 🥁 usually, i am either listening to music or rewatching my favorite tv shows while i work. 🎷 I listen to music or watch videos while I draw, usually for background noises but when it comes to music I like it to listen to certain genres and themes to keep my mind at a creative mode. 🎺 I'm big into music, I believe that it can influence how and what I come up with. A lot of the times I will have a specific playlist for a piece just so I can keep a consistent mood through out a piece. If I want to have a neutral setting while I work, I usually just throw on a murder mystery documentary and get to it. 🎸 All the time! It helps me focus and relax at the same time. Sometimes a song can inspire me to draw through art block as well. My genre of music can go from pop to hardcore rock, then back to instrumental and indie, in many different languages as well. 🎻 I do! It's helpful background noise.

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🎤 A Crow is White has been a favorite for a while now~ i really love their whispery vocal style~ 🥁 i would simply ask stevie nicks for her best witch tips. 🎺 This may be unbelievable, but I don't have one particular absolute favorite artist/band. I love so many different types of music it is so hard to pick one favorite. I guess if I really had to pick *one* I would pick Ella Fitzgerald. I would love to ask her what it was like to be a woman of color making a living as a jazz artist in the era that she lived. 🎸 I have too many to list, but if I could ask one question to my favorite musician, then I would want to know what inspired them to make a song. 🎻 Yoko Shimomura! I wonder how she always seems to make dynamic music

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🎤 nope but i've been interested in picking up bass~   🥁 i have been teaching myself the ukulele the last couple years! my favorite songs to play are “f*ck was i” by jenny owens young and “us” by regina spektor. 🎷 I don't play any sadly haha 🎺 Sadly, I am not able to play any instrument. I just completely skipped that in school. I think I would really love to play the guitar or banjo. The guitar because it is an instrument thats sound really excites me in music. And the banjo because it is notoriously hard to play, so it would be cool to say I could. Maybe even a hurry-gurdy. Who knows. 🎸 I used to play the electric piano back when I was young, but not anymore. If I wanted to learn an instrument again, I would like to play an electric guitar because of guitar hero. [LOL] 🎻 I actually played multiple instruments in middle school. They were all percussion instruments!

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🎤 i'll be illustrating Hi-speed Muteppou by A Crow is White 🥁 “i wish i was the moon” by neko case 🎷 I will be doing Dream Dream Dream by Madeon 🎺 I am going to be illustrating Past Lives by BORNS 🎸 Lollipop - Mika Battle Symphony - Linkin Park and probably more if time permit. 🎻 Katte Ni Kaizou Shite Mo Ii Ze - Kenji Ohtsuki

What do you expect from this zine?

🎤 i'm really curious to see the variety of music~ Maybe i'll find a new favorite band! 🥁 i expect to hear a lot of cool music that i have never heard before! and also push myself to work outside of my comfort zone. 🎷 The wonderful pieces everyone will be making with the songs they have chosen and even listening to some of the songs they had picked! 🎺 Just to have a whole lot of fun and discover some new music. Maybe even make some new friends in the art world. 🎸 I am excited to see how everyone interprets their favorite songs through their own means. I also thank you for letting me be a part of it as well. I can’t wait to see the zine in full blossom! <3 🎻 I expect to have a fun time with it! I can't wait to see the finished product

🥁 Hi, I'm Alto! I'm mostly a traditional artist but oddly enough the piece for the zine is digital! I love to draw monsters, aliens, robots and sci fantasyMy art can be found at: https://instagram.com/quietsouvenir https://twitter.com/quietsouvenir 🎷 Hi! I'm Ray, I'm an aspiring manga artist & am actively working on a few stories at this moment!

I enjoy a variety of music, from jazz to classical to Jpop haha. 🎸 I'm a hobbyist artist and a history student from the UK.

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing?

🥁 I do listen to music when drawing! It's good to keep the mood and have my brain in the zone 🎷 Yes! I usually watch memes or listen to rock or lo-fi. 🎺 I listen to podcasts and music! Talking to friends who also draw simultaneously helps me boost through pieces. 🎸 I usually listen to music when I'm drawing because I find other things hard to pay attention to while I'm trying to draw 🎻 Yes, almost always! I have music on whenever I'm not actively trying to watch someone or something.

What’s your favorite music artist/band? If you could ask your favorite band/music artist one question, what would it be?

🥁 I think my all time favourite band would be Sigur Rós! They're an Icelandic post rock band. I'd ask them "When was the moment where it came to you that you really, really wanted to become a serious band", because post-rock and shoegaze is a really risky genre to be in - not as well known, and starting a musical career is already daunting on its own! 🎷 My favorite music artist is a really hard question tbh, at this moment, probably Sufjan Stevens! And I would love to ask them how they felt about writing the album Carrie & Lowell. 🎺 After the Rain; I would ask them their inspirations and aspirations for the future! 🎸 I love lots of different artists but I think a big favourite would probably be Rupert Hine. I'd ask what he thinks about the music he wrote in the 80s in terms of how relevant it is today and whether he's likely to create any new pieces in the future 🎻 My favorite band would be Dance Gavin Dance! If I were able to ask them one question, it would likely be 'How do you keep yourselves creative despite the frequent changes in roster?'

Do you play an instrument? If not would you like to play one? Which one?

🥁 I play the piano! Also wished I could play the drums. 🎷 I play Piano, Ukulele, and am actively learning Bass guitar! I can also play a bit of Ocarina :0 🎺 Yes! Flute and piano, formerly cello. I want to try oboe though! And I'm beginning to learn piccolo for marching band next year ^^. 🎸 I'm mostly a singer but I can play a little bit of piano and I'm slowly learning to play accordion 🎻 I don't play an instrument, but I've always wanted to play guitar since I was young.

Which song(s) are you going to draw?

🥁 zircon - No Regret (ft. Chris Gordon) 🎷 I plan on drawing based on Jitter Doll (Will Stetson English cover), the Howls Moving Castle theme, and Sufjan Steven's The Only Thing 🎺 Mikazuki - Sayuri ; Touch-Off (UVERWORLD); the hole - King Gnu; 夜に駆ける - YOASOBI 🎸 Long Lankin (arranged by Lol Lynch) 🎻 Kaleidoscope Eyes - Panic! At the Disco

What do you expect from this zine?

🥁 I don't expect anything for myself, but I hope that it's a good opportunity to become more well-known in the art scene and also befriend new artists. That said, I certainly do expect the zine to help shine the spotlight on some underrated artists! 🎷 I expect a lot of emotion from each artist, music is a huge release for people along with art, so I hope to see a huge creative outlet! 🎺 I don't know exactly what to expect, as this is my second zine, but I've enjoyed the community and the plethora of different minds that come together to create this project! 🎸 I like to draw things based on music anyway, so this zine is pretty much an excuse to do more of what I like :p 🎻 I expect a fun time, to make friends and hopefully experience others' music tastes!!
