INTERVIEW
1
Do you consider yourself more of a web designer or a graphic artist? Why? (other/both/neither works too.)
Definetly not a web designer, my site is terrible. I after 2 years finally can comfortably call myself a Graphic Artist.2
How did you get started in the field you chose in the previous question?
I started out by wanting wallpapers for my computer. As time went by..I read about the programs that people used to make them and started from there.3
Why have you stuck with it thus far?
Money..LOL. I enjoy doing Abstracts. I work alot of hours at the Hotel and when I get home..creating a new image always relaxs me.I have sold many works as prints, book covers, CD covers etc..so that always keeps me going too.4
When did you get your first computer?
I was a slow one to enter the world of computers. 19925
What kind was it?
It was an old used Pentium 120 with 256 colors.6
What kind do you have now?
Hewlett Packard 900MHZ 256RAM original onboard video card. Nothing fancy.7
8
Who/what inspires you and your work to progress in such a dynamic field?
My peers are the ones that honestly keep me going. I receive so much mail from fans all over the world. That is the greatest feeling.9
Do you feel this whole web realm is a fad or will it last? If it lasts, predict its future for us?
I see no reason for all of this to end. It can only get better.10
Any pointers for the folks just starting out?
Don't give up..submit your work to galleries and allow them to comment and give you pointers. Do not get offended by negative comments. When I started..I had some terrible comments..but it just made me try harder.11
Flash. Cool? or 99% Bad?
I personally do not care for Flash.12
What can we expect from you in the future?
Hopefully a change in my color schemes. I have a tendency to do alot in oranges and browns. I am trying real hard to move away from that. I will stick with darker images though..and hopefully start producing my work in Lightwave.13
What forums/online communities do you frequent?
The main community and forum I go to is the 3D Commune. That is my internet home.14
What % of your friends are part of the same field?
I have no friends that do graphic art except the ones I have online.15
Any final thoughts?
First off I want to thank you for asking me for this interview. That alone makes me feel honored. I have learned so much through online art communities and digital artists all over. I want to thank everyone for all their help.RATING
