Check out our interview below with artist katieisfinallytumbling, then check her out on Tumblr to see more of her amazing work!

What program/tools do you use?
I use Photoshop Elements 11 and a Wacom Intuos Pen & Touch Small. Pretty basic, as far as things go, but I’ve found that they’re easy to use and get the job done just fine!

Where do you get your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from many places, depending on how I’m feeling and what I’ve seen. Sometimes I’m inspired by a text post, a promotional picture, or a scene, and sometimes I’m inspired to do art out of spite. Most frequently, it’s a mix of the above with some procrastination thrown in.

What are your primary fandoms?
That tends to fluctuate with what fandoms are active, but the constants are Orphan Black and the MCU umbrella. Other contenders are Night Vale, Carmilla, and Rooster Teeth.

What project have you always wanted to do?
I’d love to do something animated! It’s a little beyond my scope right now, especially considering PSE doesn’t have any animation capability, but it’s something to keep in mind for the future!

What is your favorite work?
Definitely my portrait of Widow; I have a tendency to see magnified flaws once I finish a piece and I still actually like that one which is kind of a first for me.

What is one thing fandom doesn’t know about you?
I’m obsessed with small plants and cute planters. I have a succulent in a toy ibex planter and it’s adorable. Don’t even get me started on my candle collection.
