SHOHEI

INTERVIEW BY TOMO KOSUGA, TRANSLATED BY LENA OISHI

Vice: I hear you only draw with ballpoint pens and permanent markers.

Shohei:

You seem to draw quite a bit in freehand. Do you ever use computer graphics?

What sort of themes are you into right now?

furyo

Your illustrations often feature characters who almost look like they’re androids.

You also do a series of one-frame mangas, where you draw a single manga frame rather than an entire story, which I find fascinating.

I also noticed that your illustrations are all black, white, and red.

So listen, I always want to ask artists this. Do you ever go and jerk off after you draw an erotic picture?

Huh. OK, now I feel like a dick.
