Kayano's Gallery is closed permanently as of March 22, 2001.

Due to some unfortunate incidents happening one after another, I decided to close down Kayano's Gallery.

= Reasons for closing

-- There were too many people ripping my artwork last year, and I got sick of getting upset.
-- Too many people were asking to teach them how to draw when I had it listed in my FAQ that I can't do that.
-- Tripod accidentally terminated my site one weekend, and I was very shocked when "Your account was terminated because you violated our Terms of Policy" without any prior notice.
It turned out to be a mistake by the provider side, but I wish they could have told me more earlier on what was happening rather then get back to me couple days later with a single line apology.

Kayano's Gallery was opened for 2 and a half years, so it's sad that I have to go away like this.
Still, all the events that were happening around me lead me to think I don't want to keep this up and be upset all the time.

I still love to draw, and I do like my friends on the Net, so I will probably be around somewhere.
I just don't have the courage to say it out loud where exactly I'll be going yet.

Thank you for all these years and happy/unhappy memories.
See you again... Maybe?
