Q: How long does it take to make an image?
A: On average, it takes me anywhere between 3 hours and several days of free time to complete a piece.



Q: Can I use your artwork as the background of my desktop, print one out and put it on my wall, Use it as my avatar for an RPG, or otherwise use it for any purpose?
A: Sure, so long as you follow these rules: 1. Do not make any money off of the production, 2. Do not claim it is yours, 3. Do not make any modifications without me knowing (mostly because I want to see them), 4. Provide a clearly visible link back to the piece, or my homepage, on or near the piece of artwork. My opinion is that it’s the art that really matters, so long as you follow those rules we’ll be cool. Just send me more traffic for those who are interested in it.



Q: Can you draw me something?
A: No, I am currently not accepting commissions, though it doesn’t hurt to ask. I have a few projects going right now, and with school things are a little hard to keep in order. So, for now the answer is no.



Q: I’ve got an idea for a T-shirt (or any other product) design, will you make it for me?
A: It depends on the content, if I think it’s interesting, if I think it will sell, then yes. However, I will retain ALL rights, you will get absolutely nothing for the idea (although I may offer the products at base price for a limited time to allow you to purchase them at a discount). You will have no legal claim over any of the profits I make, nor will I give you anything for free. Essentially, instead of paying me for designing it, I will consider it my own. However, I am all for putting a link to your website (if you have one) or the name of your organization, or any other short message you might want on the product for your contribution. If you have any questions, just contact me and we’ll discuss it.



Q: How long have you been drawing?
A: I have been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. My entire life as far as I am concerned.


Q: Why do so few of your images have backgrounds?
A: I am not particularly confident in my ability to do backgrounds so I often leave them out.


Q: How do you come up with this stuff?
A: I am crazy.


Q: How did you get so good?
A: I am crazy. No, it took a long time and I am allways improving. This is not natural talent, this is natural obsession, and a life-long passion. Passion and obsession are the two things that art needs more than talent.


Q: Are you a genius?
A: I am a borderline genius, which means I am just smart enough to be dangerous.


Q: What inspires you?
A: Anything and everything. I am capable of seeing the beauty in all things, generally though I like fantasy type stuff.


Q: You speak often of a muse, what is a muse?
A: A muse can be any number of things, but the key is inspiration. It could be a person that, when you are around them, you are inspired, or they inspire you. It could be considered a cosmic force, so to speak, that creates through an artist. It could be a fairy that sits on the shoulder of the artist and whispers in their ear. A muse is what you make it. I tend to consider it the last two but mostly because I haven’t found a girl that fits the description of the first.


Q: You didn’t answer my question here, how can I contact you?
A: You can contact me via the contact page on the menu to the left or you can leave a comment below.
