I believes there’s no need for introduction for this week Gimme 5’s hot seat, the talented illustrator behind both Sore’s album design (She’d kill me for this) Mayumi Haryoto. But then again it won’t hurt to ask her own opinion what she thought her short intro would sound like if it’s up to her, well here goes : Mayumi Haryoto was an ex convict, she was imprisoned in summer 1983 for tax frauds. In  July 1946 she was seen in a famous photograph stood by adolf hitler. And when the alliance finally won the war she was put in the most wanted war criminal list. Today, she’s often reported in nearby coffee house, trying to quit smoking while abusing passing-by teenagers.

We asked Mayumi for 5 things we might find on her working table and here’s her answer, “I usually like to keep my desk clean when I’m not drawing. Most of my stuffs like books, papers and drawing tools are kept in shelves. I take only things that I need when I work, and usually these are the 5 things that mostly to be found on my desk when I’m working ……..Compare to other artists I am not very well in organizing as you can see and kinda have a boring desk in general. Haha…”

5 Things on my desk
