posionivyArtist continued profile. Let’s get a tiny bit personal:

 

– What are your goals as an artist?: Ultimately, id like to ‘make it’ as an artist. When I say ‘make it’ I really just want to be able to make a steady living off of my art and have it be my full time career. And I’d also like to put out a few comics of my own along the way haha.

– Favourite artist/why?:
Well the list is pretty huge of course, but those that are really inspiring me currently, it would have to be Martin Abel. a good mate and someone I’ve always looked up to and admired as an artist. He’s constantly working so hard and always producing magnificent work. Along with Jeffrey ‘Chamba’ Cruz. That guy is always producing art, and makes me feel bad for not drawing during every ounce of spare time I have. He helps me remember what art is really all about. – http://www.abelpinups.com/ – http://thechamba.deviantart.com/

– Where there any defining moments in your life that have influenced your artistic style?: I would probably say that I owe allot of my artistic style to Rod Tokely. My old art teacher, who pretty taught me the majority of what I know, and pushed me and my art to progress the way it has over the years. helping me to reach my artistic goals. My time spent with him has defined allot of who I am today.

dp– What do you think of Comics being made into movies?: Overall, I think its awesome! its great to see some of my favourite comic book character brought to life and on the big screen, kicking some butt! especially with what marvel is doing with their films recently, its a really exciting time for comics!

– Has reading a Comic ever changed your life? Which one/why?: I cant say there has been a comic that has made any form of significant impact on me, I read comics for the pure enjoyment and fun of them. but most of the time it does spark some ideas and motivation to keep creating which is a great reason to read them!

– If you could have any power from a Comic character, what would it be/why?: I think I would like to be a ‘Jumper’. I’ve always wanted to travel the world and see some of the wonderful things out there. plus I could get up to a bit of mischief as well hahah.

shera– Favourite Comic artist of all time/why?: would have to be J. Scott Campbell. that one was easy 😛 – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Scott_Campbell

– What do you prefer to snack on when creating a masterpiece?: Maltesers. The key to my heart hahah.

– Where do you ‘draw’ your daily inspiration from?: It comes from an assortment of things. I find Tumblr to be useful for providing inspiration images. but Music is probably the main thing. I really enjoy music that tells stories. something I can follow along with. bands like Coheed & Cambria and Nick Cave and My Chemical Romance are some great examples. and of course art books and comics!

– If you were a tree, what would be carved into you?: I’d like it to be a series of images that tell a story, maybe even the story of my own life and heritage.

pinup1– Ever had a thing for a comic character? If so why/why?: Haha not that I can think of no. I must be reading the wrong kinds of comics!

– If you could collaborate with anybody, who would it be/why?: I would really enjoy to collaborate with Skottie Young cause that would just be super fun!

– Likes: Dr Pepper, Minecraft, Maltesers and a nice chilled cider!

– Dislikes: Pineapples, Spaghetti Bolognaise, My Little Pony.

– Any thank you’s/shoutouts?: Firstly my girlfriend Jasmin for putting up with me and all the time I spend in my studio. I wouldn’t be able to do the thing I love so much if it weren’t for her patience and understanding! My family for being so super supportive, my best friend Luke Andrew for being my partner in crime for all these years. All my sketch sessions buddies: Marty, Jeff, Hugh, Sarah, Hannah, Julian, James & Andrew for being korraawesome mates! And most of all the fans, if it wasn’t for their continued support over the years I wouldn’t have pushed myself as hard as I have, and I wouldn’t be where I am now so thank you. all of you!
