2. KHUAN+KTRON



 KHUAN+KTRON is...

— a fully equipped modern graphic studio, dedicated to the manufacturing of brightly coloured, yet thematically somewhat eccentric pictures of the floating world, info- and typographics, packaging designs, leaflets, brochures, pamphlets and books; most of our commissioned work is focused on arts, culture, education and other non-profit causes, in harmony with our rather particular lifestyles.
— a warm shelter for wandering monks, martial arts instructors, spare-time pathologists, daisypickers, vegan cooks, flute-playing shepherds, slightly aging anarcho-punks, ascetics and other zealots, off-season theme park enthusiasts and maggot-infested zombies, united by their mutual intrests and passions.
— also known as Kobbyhuan & Kobbytron, KHUAN Cavemen Co., Kwan Tung Lo, The Long Johns Of Yore and/or Yonder, The Abominable Tribe of Long-Haired Goons, The Daruma Crew, and finally, since the advent of Mixail Mitmalka, The Kargasok Clan.

KHUAN+KTRON are...

(NTD) Ningtiendo Sehgah (Japan, born 1976) was raised by his aunt in Belgium with all the trades of a modern Japanese upbringing: manga, 16-bit video games, fluorescent sweets and double school hours. At eightteen, he left for Antwerp to study the noble graphic arts. After ten years on the job, he still feels like he's only just starting — so much more to learn and see and do
(STBZ) Steebz a.k.a. ACPL (Belgium, born 1976) "Don't mind me. I'm somewhere else. 

(MXM) Mikail Mitmalka (Russia, born 1972) is newest member of KHUAN brotherhood and likes to speak Western Europeans in gruff monosyllables. Big man and strong man with arms like trees and small stove for inside. Mikail is great-great-grandson of Wladimir Mitmalka, famous for painting grand icons with golds; Mikail is self-schooled for drawings and paintings with nostalgic feelings. Since some time Mikail lives and works in the KHUAN monastery for his new home; there he may drawing and painting and meditating long time and not worry about talking much, since the older ways talk better than words. Chop woods for the fires. Scare off monastery trespassers and wild boars. Work in the gardens, with the nature under the sun and with the moon. Room and fresh air again.
