ReplyDeleteI just had to fix some images weren't loading right and I changed the date to move it to the front page, because I don't think it saw the light of day lol.
Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteOh that's a bit odd :S not sure why, maybe time differences and clocks going back made it not post right or something? XD I don't know...

Please you must tell me! Ayumi what? is she from a band? I love her style and i want to draw her more >.<
ReplyDeleteHey there, sorry for the late reply!
ReplyDeleteAyumi is essentially a Japanese club kid who is closely associated with DJ Sisen.
Her myspace is here:

Her last login/update was a few years ago however, and does seem to have disappeared from the scene.
She is an absolutely beautiful girl, and I'm sad that she seems to have fallen off the face of the earth :(
