What media do you like working in? List them. graphite, ink, watercolor, cut paper, collage.
What media do you hate working in? Why? oil paint, digital, both because i am so inexperienced in them i don't feel like my time is being well used. gauche, because of the crazy handling, cost & opacity, it makes me just want to watercolor.
What media would you like to try, but haven't? i wish i had gotten the chance to experiment more with textiles, try surface design & more three dimensional media.
List three non-Illustration classes that have influenced you and/or your work positively. Explain. The drawing foundations at the school of course helped me refine my technique, & watercolor class made clear to me that that would be my color medium of choice. sculpture, especially the reductive work we did with soapstone, helped me consider mass & form over complete dependence on contour line in my drawing.
How has the work of your peers influenced you and your work? since the years of classes we've spent together, i feel i am held accountable to what they know i'm capable of & have grown to trust their understanding of my aesthetic, however different it may be from their own. certain specific students' work inspire me in different ways depending on the piece.
What sort of subject matter do you like to create work about? i mean to illustrate children's stories, but am specifically interested in ones with magical-realistic style of fantasy, classic fairy-tales, animals and natural environments.
What sort of subject matter do you like to read about? nonfiction on comparative mythology & religion, fairy tales & their analysis, short stories, philosophical fiction (hermann hesse, milan kundera etc), and magical realism (toni morrison, etgar keret, gabriel garcia marquez, african and native american folktales)
What kind of music do you like? Why? art-rock (radiohead, explosions in the sky, sigur ros etc) narrative-based songwriting (folk music, tom waits) & bouncy indie songs. they just appeal to the sensibilities i have.
What non-art related interest/hobbies/skills do you have? bike riding, sewing, collecting things i find on the ground, journaling.
What is something that you like that nobody else likes? i don't doubt it.
If you had the run of the world's museums, what three works of original art would you like to own? i'll have to do some research & come back to this one.
