Interview #10 (Jenn)

Artist Interviewed :

Q : How did you find out about DeviantArt and what made you join this community ?

I took a computer graphics class and I was trying to find tutorials on photoshop. Alot of the tutorials I found had stock from DeviantArt, so I checked out the site and became a member

Q : How did you evolve in the community ?

I took over a group, which has been really fun, and I find new artists every day to watch, to ask them questions. I comment and respond to every one of the artists that I watch. I ask for advice and tips, and I give out advice and support to all of my watchers.

Q : What do you like most about art ?

I like all forms of art, all different styles and genres, but for all of the same reason. I like the emotion, the feeling that I get from a piece. I like to look at a piece and wonder, what was the artist thinking, what compelled the artist to create this, and I think of how it makes me feel.

Q : What was your greatest achievement so far ?

My college actually asked me and my small group of graphic design students to do a brochure for the them campus. It was an honor that they came to us, and as an aspiring designer, it feels good not only to be noticed but to have an institution like your college ask you to work on a project for them.

Q : Where do you see your self in 5 years ?

I see myself working at a design company, working as a graphic artist/web designer

Q : What inspires you the most in creating your art ?


I generally work off of my emotions and my feelings. WHatever is going on with me at the moment, I draw and pull from those emotions.

Q : What are the challenges that you overcome everyday in the life of an artist ?

Trying to improve, to get better. I see so many artists and they blow me away, and its a struggle to learn and excel when my time is limited between my full time job and school


Q : Describe your working routine.

I work full time and go to school, so my art routine is limited to night time. On the weekends when I have more time, I do the most of my art

Q : What is your favorite quote and why ?

It is what it is. It's very simple, there are some things you can change, others you cannot. Dwelling about it wont change it

Q : What is the greatest part in being an artist ?

The feeling of creating something that you know is good, that you know speaks to people, to know that your art touches another, best feeling

Q : Could you share with us a secret or tip in creating great photomanipulations ?

I dont have a secret tip, I wish I did, perhaps mine would be better

Q : Anything else you want to add?

Thank you very much for asking me to do this
