STUDIO CYEN v. 11

About
.the webmaster
I'm a Taiwanese-American who is interested in a variety of subjects. My art is inspired by many, but my ALL-TIME favorite artist, as well as one who had the most impact on my life besides my parents, is my grandpa ÃC¤ôÀs (Yen Shui-long). For undergrad I majored in biology and archaeology at Cornell and finished grad school at MIT in biology. Want to know more about me or my work? Read my profile at my comic page or contact me.

.the site
I created this site mainly to amuse myself (first to learn html back in 1996) and to provide a place to show my drawings.

.version 11
For the longest time I didn't know what I want for the next design. I think I've been starring at glasses for too long so I decided to use eye glasses as the current theme. I tried a couple of new things for this design. I used pop up window for past updates. I finally learned how to use template option in my html editor program. css is now its own file instead of embedded in each html file. I made my first animated .gif. I created all the icons found throughout the site. I reinstated the site map, and I'm testing the webclap script. Finally, I'm abusing roll over images.

I'm thinking that I want to add some Chinese text to the current version of the site.

I actually had this site design in September of 2005, but due to real life stuff, I havne't had time to finalize this version until January/February 2006.

.faq
not that people ask me all that many questions...

Do you do commissions?

Yes, I do. Email me for more info. Pricing depends on size, type of media, and purpose of the drawing.

I want to use one of your images for xyz... Can I use it?

It depends on what's "xyz." If it's for personal use (meaning you're not using my image to make money) and if you ask nicely, it's highly probable that I'll give you permission. It makes me happy when someone likes my drawing enough to want to use it. If it's for commerical purposes, I'll let you know what are my terms and conditions, and we can discuss more about it in detail.

When will you update your comics?
Depends on my mood. I'm busy settling down in my new home and trying to find a new career path so I have precious little time to draw. Plus, I'm tempermental when it comes to art so I need to be in the right mood to draw.
