Kisekae and me

I started making dolls in the early ninties-back when the net was new and otakuworld was free. As a computer geek with an artistic bent the medium was very appealing,and although my body of works is small I consider myself a kiss artist. Hey-my cobal class audit program might save the company some money and my crayon transformer picture will look great on moms fridge but someone I never met might think my angel doll is realy cool, and for a geek coolpoints are everything.

At one level I have to see kiss dolls as a most neat digital interactive art form: an important cultural development, at another level: silly little toys, mindless as digipets or pet rocks and at least as trivial.

Ofcourse many people feel the same way about water color yet can appreciate Andrew Wyeth and feel a kinship when they dip a brush into a waterglass or squezze out some pigment from a gutiar tube of color onto there pallet. I don't know how improtant the dolls are or valid the medium is to the world at large -Yes a hobby but- I craft a doll with care, knowing I will put my name on it.

My influences include all the early kiss artist: Light, The King in Yellow, Invisable Phan, Emby Quinn, Dominitrix, Dov Sherman, Glyndon and a half dozen others. I loved what they were doing and knew I had to do it too.
