ILLUSTRATION
 | What is your specialty in illustration? Caricatures, line drawing and detailed colored art with comical theme. I also di a lot of technical illustration and drafting so when dealing with props and architectral environments I can produce decent and accurate imagery. |
 | What are your regular clients like? What do they expect from you? Magazines, newspapers and also individuals who have an idea but can't draw it. I also create visual solutions for complex marketing and outreach programs. They expect effective art work. They want the result well executed and on time. |
 | Have you completed formal art studies, or are you self-taught? I studied animation, industrial design and computer science. I also have formal training in marketing and business. These account for half of what I know. The other half is self-taught. |
 | How did you get your first full assignment? What did it involve? I was a street artist in my early 20's. A writer approached me to illustrate his book. I did a good job. Several projects followed and I found myself to be a full time artist. |
 | What past or present day illustrators do you admire most? Norman Rockwell, Sebastian Kruger |
 | How similar are your current drawings to those you did as a child? I used odd angled. Uncommon and uneasy ones. I still do that. I also start my drawing from unusual startsing points. I did this as a child. Always started drawing a face from the corner of the eye. |
 | What was your favorite comic book as a child? Tintin books. I didn't like super heros. |

 | What do you do when a client simply says "I don't like it"? If I get that one day I will ask what it is they don't like about it and start changing it from there. |
 | What new techniques have you been experimenting with lately? Mostly digital techniques. Photoshop, Sketchbook Pro and similar programs are replacing the paper for me. |
 | What part of your work do you do on paper and what part digitally? Initial concepts are on paper. Once the idea is almost fial I move on to digital. Oberall about 95% digital. |
 | What research do you do for your illustrations? Mostly internet imagery and then books. |
 | Do you have colleagues with whom you share techniques, tricks, ideas, etc.? Yes. I learn and share with many people. Learning never stops. |
