Can I use your artwork on my site? Can I use graphics from Kameko in Wonderland on my own site? Can we do an art exchange/collaboration? Can you draw something for me? Can I link Kameko in Wonderland on my site? Can you link my site? / Can we exchange links? How can I find out when Kameko in Wonderland is updated? I saw someone calling himself/herself "Kameko Tsukitaka" online! Is that you?
Thanks! |
