Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why the name SUPRACAINE?
I created the name when I just started making graphic tee designs. The original tagline was "a/n/esthetic".I tried searching for anesthetics that had the prefix of "sup". I ended up finding a European brand of anesthetic called Supracain.A/n/esthetic > Superinie > Supracain = Supracaine.Then I created my logo, my initials (SH) turned into a pill and turned on its side.At some point, I released a neon collection surrounded by my "Neon Steel" original character and created a matching logo. The neon colours ended up becoming a staple.Q: What are your future/career goals?
My career goals are constantly evolving. Previously, I wanted to be in the gaming industry, which is why I developed my skills in 3D modeling and concept design. However, now I aspire to become a tattoo artist. I still want to sell prints and create artwork on the side. I believe I will be content with anything relating to art creation.My short-term goals are to exhibit at my first convention and launch my clothing business.
My long-term goal is to create a dark fantasy manga.Q: What tools do you use for your artwork?
For digital work, I use Procreate and Clip Studio Paint. I use Photoshop for final tweaks.
For painting, I use Da Vinci acrylic paint or Gamblin 1980 Oil Colours with refined linseed oil.Q: Do you take commissions?
I do! Check the commission section for more information, such as availability.*I do not make physical cards for commissions—just the artwork. You will have to find your own means of printing the card.Q: I saw you sell Pokémon cards. Can you print out existing designs?
No, I only sell designs created by me. I do not do any reprints or print designs created by others.Q: You've mentioned a clothing line. What's going on with that?
In 2021, I started a business with my partner called Comic Kei. Aside from a few commissions and designs, nothing has been produced yet. We are currently looking for embroidery and clothing manufacturers to make our designs.As of May 2024, a manufacturer has been found and we are waiting for samples.
