7. What's your biggest goal/ambition as an artist?
Success in getting works published and seen worldwide, in which ever way it happens.
8. Why do you like drawing ladies?
I enjoy most drawing their long flowing hair. I feel most accomplished when their faces end up with Goddess-like Beauty.
9. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
Atlantis, you said anywhere right? But in a real sense: New Zealand.
10. Name three artists who have influenced you and/or you admire.
Alphonse Mucha, who isn't inspired by art nouveau?
Stephanie Pui Mun Law, watercolor at its perfection.
Gil Elvgren, we can all learn a thing or two about skin-tone from that man.
