Be sure to check back here every Wednesday to see some of the most amazing artists on Flipnote Hatena. Maybe we'll even feature you someday!
Today's Hatena Featured Artist is HARRY (id:jago12-345) from the Europe & Oceania region.
How you get ideas for your Flipnotes, and how long does it usually take you to create them?
I get the most of my ideas in the evening when I'm laying in bed before I fall asleep. For me, it is important to make Flipnotes by using my own ideas.
The time it takes to make my Flipnotes is usually 4-5 hours and sometimes up to 10-15 hours or more.
What hobbies or interests do you have (besides making Flipnotes)?
I play tennis and football. And of course, I also like playing games on my Nintendo DSi or on my computer.
