What program/tools do you use? 
HP touchsmart tm2, wacom cintiq companion and I do everything in Paint Tool SAI

Where do you get your inspiration? 
Ah a lot of places to be completely honest. Mainly comic book artists and illustrators and other fan artists I guess. I'm constantly looking for new artists to follow on tumblr and have a whole inspo blog devoted to finding inspiration and like 12 pinterest boards haha. Just naming a few artists off the top of my head I guess I would say my biggest influences are: Kevin Wada, Jake Wyatt, Jamie Hewlett, Phil Noto, Disney/Pixar, p much every One Direction and Lord of the Rings fanartists on tumblr    

What are your primary fandoms? 
Lord of the Rings/Hobbit currently but I used to do Marvel and One Direction a lot and I'll probably go back to them every once in a while.

What project have you always wanted to do? 
Oh man I've always wanted to do an artist book of some sort. Or pair up with a writer for a fic. 

What is your favorite work? 
That I've done?? Uh jeeze I'm the worst at choosing. Usually cause I get a bad taste in my mouth whenever I look at my old work haha. Um I guess my art nouveau One Direction, Clint's Coffee Shop probably just because it took me forever, and tbh I'm actually pretty proud of my current Fee&Kee au even though its a bit ridiculous.

What is one thing fandom doesn’t know about you? 
um I honestly have no idea? I'm pretty much an open book. If you ask I'll probably tell. Idk I have a very sarcastic and self deprecating sense of humor but I don't think it really translates very well online so I think a lot of people misinterpret things that I say because they just don't get that I'm joking.
