ホテル Hotel – making of Chiaki aka Chinese Malek

This is Chiaki in the making, nickname is Chinese Malek, but nobody remembers exactly how the name came about, because Chiaki is actually Japanese-Korean and not Chinese at all;

there used to be another girl around, who was Polish, and also called Malek, but she left the hotel quite a while ago, nobody has a clue what she is up to now and that way before Chaiki popped up, so the connection between the two, if there is one, is not really clear. I will try interviewing her about it, maybe I can find it out.

Seems like Chiaki is a smoker:

Yep. That’s where the cigarette goes.

I had asked a Ukrainian doll artist, who I had collaborated with in the past, if she was willing to make me a puppet that is a goat shooting up heroin. She declined, stating she could not do it because she was romantic. She has a strange hairless cat. I should become a romantic, too.
