Impossibly double-dyed men float around naked , surrounded by gears and cyber - animal , inKiriko Moth ’s Yaoi art . Yaoi — the Japanese art of show lovely immature dudes , in sexual post for a female readership — has been build an zealous U.S. following . And now artist like Kiriko are bring Art Nouveau - esque yaoi porn to the dreary world of cyber- and steampunk . Click through for a ( possibly NSFW ) veranda and interview .
I sense like most yaoi art is fantasy - orient . Is your study more oriented towards fantasy or science fiction ?
A pot of my artistic production is ambiguous as to whether it ’s illusion or sci - fi , but I believe I gravitate more towards fancy . Lately I ’ve been doing more steampunk themed graphics , which I guess falls more into the sci - fi category … So the scifi vs. fancy might even be around 50 - 50 at this point . I ’ve often essay to break out of the scifi / phantasy recession and just force something completely everyday , but I ca n’t seem to manage it .
How big is the yaoi interview in the U.S. now ? Is it as heavy as it is in Japan ?
I wo n’t arrogate to be an expert on the yaoi market . I ’m pretty sure the Nipponese yaoi marketplace still far surpasses the American created / make yaoi tantrum . They ’ve just been doing it longer , and most of our pop yaoi culture medium is imported from Japan . I think many of the bigger publishing sign are not so quick to pick up yaoi as they have been to dive into general audience manga , so that keeps the market small . It ’s difficult for the small presses to to make it in the business , and that ’s where most of our American yaoi is coming from – diminished press , independant publisher , and self - publishing .
When did you get ask in yaoi nontextual matter ?
I discovered rather early in my teenage years that receive two guys together is just hot , so when I first found yaoi on the cyberspace ( it is for erotica , after all ) it was like come home . I did n’t join the yaoi art scene until much later , circa 2004 , but it really only coincided with graduating from college and suddenly have more time on my hands . move to San Francisco help also , because that give me my first probability to attend Yaoi - Con and meet the community in person . Having a group to deal the artwork with just render me more reasons to draw yaoi - theme art .
