Frequently asked questions =)
Q: Nana-chan, what software did you use to draw the pictures?
A: They are hand drawn using a pencil or a fountain pen (the pilot 1), then scanned into Photoshop for editing.
Q: Can I use your pictures on my site/blog/friendster/anywhere?
A: Yes, as long as you link them back to my blog and I am notified that you are using them. Plagarism is a crime, please respects works of respective owners.
Q: Nana-chan, can I link you on my blog/myspaces/webpage?
A: Yes. I would be glad if you wanna help me 'advertise'. haha!
Q: Nana-chan, is your surname Chan???
A: No. as defined in Wikipedia, Chan (ใกใใ) is a diminutive suffix used to refer to or address children, animals, lovers, intimate friends, and people whom one has known since childhood. It is an informal version of "san" used to address children and female family members. "Chan" continues to be used as a term of endearment, especially for girls, into adulthood. Parents will probably always call their daughters "chan" and their sons "kun," though "chan" can be used towards boys just as easily. Adults will use "chan" as a term of endearment to women with whom they are on close terms.
Chan is used more among women than men and requires considerable intimacy to be used with adults with whom one has not known for an extended period of time or since their childhood. Furthermore, attaching chan to a modified stem is more intimate than attaching it to the full form of the basic name.
Although traditionally honorifics are not applied to oneself, some young women occasionally develop the habit of referring to themselves in the third person using chan. For example, a young woman named Maki might call herself Maki-chan rather than using a first person pronoun. Chan is also used for pets' names and when referring to animals, such as usagi-chan (or, more frequently, usa-chan: rabbit+chan)
If the speaker were to use this suffix to a person his/her age then he/she would have to realize that the ~chan suffix is a casual suffix and is mainly used only for girls, if they are the same age or only a little bit younger than the speaker. If a boy was to call another boy his name and add -chan onto the other boy's name, then it could be deemed as an insult, if the other boy didn't agree on that name, unless it was said as a joke, or under other circumstances.
The Japanese media use chan when mentioning pre-elementary school children and sometimes elementary-school girls.
