Hi. My name is Khwan. That is spelled with an "H". K-H-W-A-N.

Kwan is a man's name in China. I am not Chinese and I am not a man.

But don't worry-if you spell it wrong. I won't laugh at you. Many people make that mistake. But if you spell it right. I give you credit for being cool.

And I'm from Thailand-not Taiwan. Thailand is very different than Taiwan. Like my name. Many people make the mistake and think that they are the same. Taiwan is part of China. Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia near Cambodia and Vietnam.

Or maybe when people spell my name "Kwan" they not make mistake. Maybe they want to speak to gentleman name "Kwan" who live in Taiwan?

If you want to speak to Kwan in Taiwan. I sorry-you came to the wrong place. If you want to speak to Khwan from Thailand-that is me. :-)

______________________________________________________________________

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. And here is my card with original artwork:

CLICK HERE FOR KHWAN'S COMIC CHRISTMAS CARD

Hope all enjoy. And comments welcome.

And yes. I know Christmas not holiday for everyone. But if I Buddhist and can enjoy the holiday. I hope you can too!

_____________________________________________________________________


http://www.khwan.com
http://www.pinupheaven.com

These are the two Yahoo Groups I own. One is about artwork (comics and pinup artwork). One is about me. :-)

I was born in Thailand and lived most of my life in Bangkok. Now I'm in Los Angeles.

So much more to say. In the future.

Here we go again....

OK. And also I see the sad prejudice that I find in other places on internet also here. If people not understand-I member here less than 1 week and I already start to get nasty emails from people. That is--because I girl and because I look the same way that I do. That it must be impossible that I really like comic books and comic artwork. And because of people who judge others by the way they look-I am forced to prove that I serious about my passion for comics.

So for those judgmental people. Yes. I love comics. But I sure that you not beleive that because it easier to look down on others. So. Here is list of people:

Steve Rude
Buzz
Frank Cho
Terry (Al Rio's manager)
Michael Bair
The Comic Geek Speak Crew (especially Jamie)
Peter Bagge

Feel free to ask them about me and if I real person or not. Or if I serious enough about comic books.

And if you still want to find reasons to not like me because of the way I look-sorry, I can't change that. I suggest that more people stop worrying and judging others and start enjoying their own life.

Because of that I think I have the right to look and dress like I want. And I fight for that right. Think of me as the Rosa Parks of Thai Girls in Lingerie. :-)

Seriously. There are 2 things that most people need to know about Thai people:

#1-Thailand is the land of smiles. That mean that most people Buddhist and they try to find happiness where the can and they try not to let problems bother them.

#2-Thailand is the only Asia country to NEVER have other country success in invade us. That mean. We smile. But please not try to take advantage of that smile. Because if you do-we kick your a**…and we smile when kicking.


I am here to make new friends who like the same things I do-comics. And spend time with old friends I have before. And to have interesting discussions. So you have comments or questions. Please post-and I will try to reply.

_____________________________________________________________________

OK. Have many people ask what I read and enjoy so I try to make some lists:

It nothing special or fancy or underground or make me sound cool. I not read comic books because I like 1 character. That mean I not can say I like Batman more than I like Spiderman. Or I read every issue that have Black Canary in.

I mostly follow artists and writers and the work that they do.


My #1 Favorite: Carl Barks

My Other Favorites:
Jack Kirby
Will Eisner’s THE SPIRIT
PLASTIC MAN
EC Comics
Calvin & Hobbs

Some Manga. I LOVE Nana! And I enjoy lots of Manga Horror like TOMIE.

I like Cerebus. But I have only read some of it and I have so much more to read.


ARTISTS:
Kent Williams
Dave McKean
Moebius
Milo Manara
Richard Corben
Peter Bagge
Jeff Jones
Jim Steranko
Geoff Darrow
Jon Muth
Dave Stevens
Robert Crumb
Mark Schultz
Dean Yeagle
Steve Rude
Michael Calandra
Bruce Timm
Lorenzo Sperlonga
Frank Frazetta
Bernie Wrightson
Al Rio
Chris Ware
Shane Glines
Giovanna Casotto

And MANY more that I not can think of right now. I sure when I finish this list. 5 minutes later I think of 25 more.



And now special place in my heart for my new hero writer Warren Ellis (he know why!). Lots of people write about superheroes, read about superheroes, collect nothing but books about superheroes. But rarely act same in real life. In his own small way, Mr. Ellis has shown me that there are people left in the world who still act to help-even when they have nothing to gain.

I finaly get my comicspace together and answer Kwans befriend request, and she's fallen off the planet!

[ Posted by Spiderguy72 on Nov 28th, 2007 6:22 PM ]...

you are totally right it is wayy too quiet!

[ Posted by khwan on Nov 14th, 2007 5:22 PM ]...

Haven't checked this space for a few months. Where did everyone go?

Right now--for those who are curious--I'm in Thailand for a month.

I'm in Thailand, and I'm still thinking about comics. Pathetic or what?

I think everyone is nursing 1)hangovers or 2) Warren Ellis' San Diego SARS before they go to WW Chicago. The calm before the next storm so to speak.

Hi Terry!

You should go! After MANY years of poking Doc V with big stick to go. He go this year at last minute. He and his family have so good time that I think they have plan now to go every year in the future!

Maybe you can go in future and join the annual Khwan Thursday dinner with Thomas. Doc V and Enrico?

San Diego went TOO well!

I exhausted!

[ Posted by khwan on Jul 16th, 2007 2:06 PM ]...

I'm still alive. Barely!

I need to apologize to all the people who have left messages for me or sent me private messages. I've been busy with work and dealing with my thyroid problems. I hate to be silent and not respond to people who take the time to write me.

So. I PROMISE to not be a stranger around here in the future!

And I'm getting ready for the San Diego Comic Con. So I'm focused on that as well. Of course. If anyone here sees me at the convention PLEASE say hello! I would love to meet anyone from here.

Not to be too shameless, but I'd like to point you to my current comic Dusk - http://dusk.ambrosiapublishing.com/. I'm honestly looking for good solid feedback on the story. I'm even willing to make trades for reviews and/or exposure. I'd be willing to do link swaps or even write a script in trade.

[ Posted by 2dormsdown on Jun 22nd, 2007 6:34 PM ]...

That must be rough. My college buddy from Thailand went by the name Peter since only a handful of us could pronounce his real name properly (I can but I can't remember how to spell it). Unfortunately, most people don't care about the world around them and many of those who do can't really speak elements of their own language properly let alone those of a foreign one. Frustrating as it is you gotta give some of em credit for trying.

[ Posted by Michael_Bair on Jun 11th, 2007 3:28 PM ]...

Khwan,

just wanted to say hello...

"I have a friend who lives there"
"Who's that Roy?"
"Khwan!"
"Khwan who?"
"Khwan! smith."
You'd have to hear it yourself XD

Peace Khwan,
Hope that all is well with you. It has been a while since I was on this site, so I just read your reply. No, I am not Buddhist, but human decency is universal and so are Buddhist principles. I feel that good people are good people and you seem to be good people to me. Do you watch movies? The Ghost Rider movie was not too bad if you took it for what it was- a fun ride. I will see 300 this weekend. I'll let you know how it was. Mawule
