Artist Spotlight Interview on EMG-Zine

Journal Entry: Wed May 2, 2012, 8:58 AM


I was interviewed a while ago by one of the EMG-Zine's regular contributors and an artist, Constanza Ehrenhaus, for the Artist Spotlight feature on the e-zine.  The interview was just published in the May 2012 issue of the EMG-zine.  You can read it here.  I think this is my first published interview where I talked a little about myself, my art, style influence, my technique, and other bits of information.   I've read her interviews/features of other artists, too, and I love how she personalizes the questions specifically to individual artist instead of asking the same set of questions (which is OK, too, but all too often, the same answers come back worded slightly differently and it gets boring) as I've seen in some other interviews of similar nature elsewhere on the web.  She also featured my "Pansy", "Circe", "Secret Kisses", and "La Sylphide" in the article.  Thank you so much for the wonderful interview.  I'm so honored.

   Just a reminder:  There is a signed print/poster giveaway going on on my Facebook page through May 4th, 2012.  That's two days from now.   Since not everyone wants/has an account on FB understandably, this time I'm also taking names of anyone interested in entering the giveaway on dA as well.   All you have to do is comment on this journal saying that you'd like to be entered into the giveaway.  I will add your dA username to my master list of names for the random drawing.   People with international (outside US) addresses are welcome to enter (Although if you live in one of those countries where the postal service is unreliable, I can't guarantee that you'd receive what you win, but I will send it out if you are the winner.).



   The winner gets a 5"x7" dA photo print of "A Dark Undercurrent" and an 8.5"x11" promotional poster of "Santa Muerte" (both signed).  Two additional winners will receive the signed poster of "Santa Muerte".
