Im curious though, have you ever had to deal with criticism of your dames? (Nudity andlt;partialandgt; , sexy poses, etc.) Mignonnes How did you choose the format and materials for the book? (Linen paper, etc) This is your first mini publication. How does it feel to have a tangible book out there for people to hold? What was your biggest challenge on the project? (Layout? Printing? Fulfillment? Distribution?) How much of your time would you say is spent on personal projects vs. client work? How do you divide your time? Earlier this year you spent a month in Toronto to take an Imaginism painting course. What was that experience like? What was the most important thing you took away from the course? INKtober I noticed your participating in INKtober as well. How has the experience been for you so far? Correct me if Im wrong, but most of your finished work is digital. How has it been hitting pen and paper every day? The illustration By the Lighthouse is really wonderful as well as very detailed. Who was it for and how long did it take? In terms of subject matter, youre one of the most focused artists Ive seen. What is it you find so fascinating about the female form? Follow Up: Do you worry at all about being pigeon holed?
