Hi, Sheezy 2.0! How ya doin? I'm gonna do one of those intro meme thingies because I want to feel like a teenager on Old Sheezy again. BASICS name/nickname: Alex or Lutz. They're just my name and surname. You can also call me Bug. gender: androgyne/nonbinary woman pronouns: she/her age: 28 location: central Illinois&nbsp; single or taken: Married to another artist. We don't have a human child but we have a pitbull named Nora who is a chronic bread loaf thief&nbsp; Fun fact: I have purple hair IRL hobbies/interests: Drawing, writing, making comics, retro design, birds, liminal spaces, psychology, 70s/80s horror, surrealism. I make tie dye sometimes. dream job: I've been trying to break into the design field since last year, but I graduated in 2020 and the pandemic did me dirty. Still trying, though. After being around the block a few times, I just want something that will financially support my comic while giving me enough time to work on it. As of right now, I work at a deli because I need to keep the lights on. ART favorite medium: I draw on the iPad with Procreate exclusively these days. However, I used to draw with nothing but traditional tools. I have experience with India ink, marker, oil paint, charcoal, watercolor, and more. favorite subject: My work usually revolves around mental illness, isolation, surrealism, and strange humor. I like things that are creepy and dark, but still funny and weird. favorite artists/inspiration: Edward Gorey, Reid Miles, Sally Cruikshank, Stan Sakai, Jim Woodring, Victor Moscoso, Rory Hayes, Jhonen Vasquez,&nbsp;and many more. I always forget names when I fill these out. I'm also heavily inspired by retro aesthetics, kitsch, old magazine ads, 90s Nicktoons, and interior design. favorite period of art: Mid-century, psychedelic, 70s sci fi art, early modern, Surrealism piece you're the most proud of: my entire Krazy Noodle Massacre comic how long you've been creating: 25 years, so pretty much my entire life. I've been taking commissions for about a year now. Krazy Noodle Massacre has been in the works for 6 years. how you learned: I have degrees in graphic design and painting, but I still had to figure out a lot of stuff on my own. When I was younger, I taught myself by studying art books and other artists. I look at things critically and think about what makes it work, or works against it. I also study movies for composition and framing. how long it usually takes you to make something: Multiple hours across several sittings. the big project you haven't got around to yet: I'm already in the middle of The Big One. Sometimes I take it for granted that I'm already working on that huge comic project and not just daydreaming about it.&nbsp;Krazy Noodle Massacre is already approaching 100 pages. I'm on a between-chapters hiatus because I'm preparing pages for chapter 3, but it will be back before the end of the year.&nbsp; I'm not tagging anyone. Go hog wild.&nbsp; &nbsp; </article>
