Ok breaking from the norm of filling out a pre-made form of pure randomness, I felt that it would be more fun to let you ask the questions about me or what i think, or how i do things.
I'll post your questions and the answers here. Here are the first set- I'll do as many as you wants-
1. How did you hurt your back and how's the recovery going?
I have no idea- I think it was from sitting way to much and not exercising like I used to, which caused the muscles around my lower spine to become weak, letting the disc slip. As for how I am doing? well I have good days and bad days, I am still figuring it all out though, and the bad days seem less and less.
2. How come you are so insanely fast? or more accurately, how many hours a day do you devote to work and how long does it take you to do an illustration and a Broken Moon page?
lots and lots of practice, my first job was a cartoonist for a print shop, and we had to produce an insane amount of work, the lead illustrator there help me perfect things a little. As for illustrating bean, a page (pencils and inks) about 2 and half hours on average and I average about 2 and half a day, not including the other illustration projects I have to do as well.
3. Could you post some of your pencils please? I think it is the only step of your process we haven't seen.
one day, I will
4. Your style is very whimsical yet solid, any artistic influences you can mention, or is it just the way you naturally draw?
I am influenced by others, but I had to find my own groove though, this is naturally how I draw, yet I am constantly trying to perfect it. I love a lot of the old cartoonist, like walt kelly, jeff smith, bill waterson, etc, they showed me that you could draw your own way and still be successful at story telling
What are your favorite comics to read? (Any favorites from when you were a kid?)
Elfquest, Bone, Herobear and the kid, the uncanny Xmen from the 80's, Elflord, Usagi Yojimbo, Groo and a few others
What's your favourite flavour of ice cream?
Tin roof sunday hands down
Did you ever consider any other career choice than art?
I wanted to be a professional Swing dancer
Did you ever do any work in collaboration (either art or script) and if so, could you share some experience?
I have done some collaborations in the past and in the present. Each experience is different and some work really well, if everyone has the same end goal, which is important, other times I've seen projects just fall apart because people couldn't keep up with deadline. That is the key, if you can't pull your own weight, you might want to reconsider the job.
What are your worst and your best work-related moments (if it's not too personal, of course)?
holding a finished book in your hands that you completed, yet the worst is having to move 80 boxes of the same book to another warehouse because they were not moving.
Do you have any pets? (a mandatory question I asked everyone when I was a kid XD)
I have a cat named smokey, several salt water fish in my reef tank, and my son has a hermit crab, that keeps on ticking
Have you looked around and read any webcomics done by other people too? If so, have you found any you like?
oh i read a whole bunch, Atland, Pewfill, and a few others, I though rather picky on the comics I read, and look at story and art as a main driving source I also enjoy a few comics that come from artist here as well.
In your little 411 at the bottom of your journal... it says READING: Brooks
Is that Terry Brooks? and what book?
I am reading the Shanara series by terry brooks, the original 3, but I also just finished the Lord of the RIngs trilogy
What sort of musik do you like?
I enjoy all sorts of music, I especially love instrumental soundtracks. I also love ballads, both modern and old, I also love folk and lullabies
Do you listen to musik when you draw, if yes what sort of?
It really all depends on what I am working on. I usually let the music control the moods of pieces that I am working on. I try to use soundtracks from movies I have not seen, that helps keep the vision clean. I also use music quite a bit when I am working on sequential works
Ok anything else
I will answer almost anything...
