FAQ

Is J. S. Blancarte your real name?
Nope, it's my pen name.

Why did you choose to go by a pen name?

My real last name is of Spanish origin, difficult to pronounce, and virtually impossible to remember. I came up with "J. S. Blancarte" because I still wanted a Spanish surname (just one that's more pronounceable), and the first two initials were chosen simply because I write them prettily.


What program do you use for your drawings?
Paint.NET. It's very similar to MS Paint, but with a few extra features.

Why do you draw people as birds in your illustrations?
When I was writing my very first blog post, it was 2:30 AM, I was sleep-deprived, and my mood was extremely random. I ended up depicting myself as a blue bird, and the theme just sort of stuck.

What stories have you posted online?
