Do you have an inspiration board, and can you tell us what is inspiring you now?
i have more of an art wall of things i love. i do have clippings of inspirations in a folder. and a notebook. and all over my
desk at home. and maybe even several sketchbooks. i guess they're everywhere.
How do you create best (e.g. do you listen to music while you create and if so what?
i create best under deadlines, listening to music, with as few distractions as possible. and some caffeine of course. I go in phases, this summer it was lots of vampire weekend & raconteurs. i often turn on andrew bird, wilco or radiohead when i just
want to make.
List (3) of your favorite artists
milton glaser
seymour chwast
aubrey beardsley (not his actual site, since he's deceased)
If yours isn't, what would be your perfect studio?
mine is close & it's perfect for now but eventually i'd like south & west facing windows, sunshine is a necessity for me. that & the north wind combined with the old windows is killer in my current studio. a sink & bathroom of my own, sharing with 8 boys plus a band on the weekend isn't always fun. also, it'd be wonderful to have something within walking distance of home.
