ABOUT ART
What is your current passion project?: My webcomic Paradiso, which is currently at a less than snails pace cos of needing to find of full time job, finishing college assignments, ongoing chronic pain and just having wanting to draw my new favourite interests
What skill would you like to master?: Driving. But no seriously, when it comes to art it's more how I hold my pen and move my shoulder I wish I could get better to minimise my pain.
Where do you go when you need inspiration?: Motorsport gets me hyped, plus looking at both official and fan art of my favourite fictional characters and media that made me strive to be an artist. Music too helps loads
Who is your biggest inspiration?: My bf 💖 and my art besties and friends help strive me forward and keep creating even through through times. Also my favourite artists include Naoko Takeuchi, Naoto Ooshima, Hirohiko Araki, Andre Franquin, Fabrice Tarrin, Janry and Steve Purcell
Are you a hobby artist or is this your job?: Bitta both - I can't do art full time cos of my chronic pain, but a good day job helps me fund what I want to make to sell at my online shop and conventions. And it gives me greater freedom to just draw for the love of it.
What is your favourite topic to draw?: F1 drivers, fan art of Sonic, Moomin, Rayman, NiGHTS, Sailor Moon, Balan Wonderworld, Ganbare Goemon, Sam & Max, and funny non-sensical stuff, cute dogs.
