    Hallo Herthalar,

    Thanks so much for stopping by our humble blog! I’m sorry, but there isn’t a wallpaper of First Kiss. However, if you are interested, an offset litho print (18 x 24 inches) of
    First Kiss is available for purchase here.

    Hi there… I borrowed your image for my blog… I hope you don’t mind… I cited my source anyway… If you want to view it, here’s my site:

    Hallo Limxuxu,

    Oh, no worries. You’re welcome to use our image on your blog (as long as you’re not passing it off as your own, vandalizing it, or hurting anyone). I’m not really sure about how it could be used to hurt someone, but I thought I’d throw that one out there for safe measure. Ah, and much thanks for giving us credit on your site!

    Thanks for stopping by!!

    Cheers & have a lovely evening,

    Really Nice pictures

    hey………..would you mind if I made a stencil out of this immage?……..it is rather inspiring

  9. # Ninjaon 06 Feb 2008 at 10:50 pm

    Hi Munaa,

    Why thank you! Hopefully, I’ll get to posting some more vector fun for you to see.
    ________________
    Hey Collin,
    Inspiring? Wow, thanks! If you’re spray painting the stencil on your room wall or desk (basically, something that’s your personal property), by all means, go ahead. But if you want to spray it around town, I’d rather you not.

    Thank you both for visiting NvP!
    Cheers,

    Hi Missy,

    What an honor! By all means, you’re more than welcome to use the image as reference for your tattoo. Please send me a photo of it after it’s done. I’d love to see it!

    Also, here’s a negative version of the image which may be helpful for the tattoo artist:

    hello, just found an image of this while browsing google randomly, and i have to day, it’s beautiful, i think it’d be really nice if you did a print of just the outlines, but print it on a piece of fabric with a similar design, ut colored, i really enjoy how you put the other two pictures as kind of a work in progress thing, anyway, wonderful job, keep up the great work!

  15. # Perfect Kisseron 14 Mar 2008 at 5:15 am

    Hey, these are the perfect photos i was looking for. I have used it in my blog. Please have a look at the blog teaching us how to kiss passionately.

  16. # Ninjaon 14 Mar 2008 at 10:06 am

    Hallo Jason,

    Good morning! Thanks for dropping in and commenting. Oh, if I only knew how to silk screen/had the materials, I’d definitely experiment with printing on different patterns. The idea had crossed my mind before (great minds think alike, I guess). If I ever do get to silk screening, I’ll be sure to put up a post for you!

    Hi Perfect Kisser,
    Wow, I imagine that title is hard to live up to. ~__^
    Oh, you’re more than welcome to use our image (I just request that you link back to us).

    Lovely print. I posted it on my blog too, along with an E. E. Cummings quote. With credit & link.

    Thanks so much!

    Hello, I was wondering if I can use your picture (the final version) with a song I would like to upload on youtube. Of course, I will credit you and put a link to your website in the description box. No, the song was not created by me, but I cannot find it anywhere on youtube so I would like to upload it (I think it’s a great song). Thanks!

  24. # Ninjaon 09 May 2008 at 8:41 pm

    Hallo Elly,

    Sure thing, you may use my image for your little video. And I appreciate the credit & the link! May I ask what song it is?

    Cheers,
    Ninja

  25. # Ellyon 10 May 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Thank you so much! It’s a not very well known song. It’s called “Til the End” by Chen Da Wei, but sung in english. I’ll post a link to the video here after I uploaded it.

  26. # Ellyon 10 May 2008 at 8:07 pm

    Alright! I’ve uploaded it already, but it may not appear until tomorrow or so. This is the link:

    It’s just fantastic!

    Would you mind if I used it as cover art for a mix I’m making to post on a community on LJ? I’ll give you full credit, of course.

    i like the 1st one so much more!

    maybe being 6′4″ Ive always liked TALL girls

  32. # Ninjaon 28 May 2008 at 1:07 am

    Hi detroyed,

    You’re not alone! I’ve received a few emails from other folks about this, too. Too bad I didn’t complete the first one (she’s missing arms).

    6′4″? Wow. I’m on the short side, so I’m feeling a tad envious now.

    Thanks for popping in!
