rghayati asked: You've been one of my favorite artists for YEARS, and even though your art and its processes don't resemble mine... at ALL, I feel like I'm always inspired by your work. Just wanted to send you this message to say "hello" and: "thank you". (And MAYBE to ask if you have plans to make prints of any of your work?)
Hey thanks. Prints. That is a good idea. I am a lazy asshole though and have never sucessfully put aside the time to manage a print store, I sell them sometimes at convenctions (If you’re in Kansas next month I’ll be selling them there) But, I promised myself I’d have an online store setup by the end of this year…I’ll let you know when I got something!
thelastbuffalo asked: Hi. I'm a huge fan. You're work is very inspiring!!! I was wondering if you could share a little of your process? Do you scan in images that you've drawn/painted then photoshop them? What type of scanner do you use? Thanks! --
My technique is not very sophisticated or interesting I’m afraid, I will take bad photos with my crappy camera of my sketches and paint over them digitally occasionally adding in some scanned in textures. I have a very old Epsom that barely works anymore :)
colonialamerican asked: how did you start drawing? what got you into it/motivated you to keep going?
I don’t ever recall being NOT into it actually! What keeps me going…I suppose it’s the only way I can really make a living since I have few other skills…but also because I just love doing it of course!
katherinemurdoch asked: Hi there :) I really admire you. I found you on deviantart a couple of years ago and still dream about your art. I was so excited to find you while searching for some blogs on here. I have to ask, how many years have you been illustrating for and what studies have you done to get to this level?
I’ve been illustrating (mostly concept art technically) professionally since graduating college in 2007. But I’ve been drawing since forever, I was lucky enough to have both my parents be artists at one point in their lives. I studied at Emily Carr university and got a bachelors in
Animation but I learnt how to paint and draw mostly on my own

- Photoshop + ???
I don’t really know what I’m doing anymore

A series from 2008 titled “Welkin”. All images in the series were done in a few days and were intended to be quick explorations of surface, atmosphere and composition.
