Dames
First, I think these drawings are BEAUTIFUL. I’m curious though, have you ever had to deal with criticism of your dames? (“Nudity” <partial> , sexy poses, etc.)
Mignonnes
How did you choose the format and materials for the book? (Linen paper, etc)
This is your first mini publication. How does it feel to have a tangible book out there for people to hold?
What was your biggest challenge on the project? (Layout? Printing? Fulfillment? Distribution?)
How much of your time would you say is spent on personal projects vs. client work? How do you divide your time?
Earlier this year you spent a month in Toronto to take an Imaginism painting course. What was that experience like?
What was the most important thing you took away from the course?
INKtober
I noticed your participating in INKtober as well. How has the experience been for you so far?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but most of your finished work is digital. How has it been hitting pen and paper every day?
The illustration “By the Lighthouse” is really wonderful as well as very detailed. Who was it for and how long did it take?
In terms of subject matter, you’re one of the most focused artists I’ve seen. What is it you find so fascinating about the female form?
Follow Up: Do you worry at all about being pigeon holed?
