If you’re not in the know on what THE illustration portal site is in the industry where you can check out latest in commercial art news, trends, and artworks, you need to bookmark it: www.TheLittleChimpSociety.com.
My favorite part of the site is reading some of the interviews of some of the terrific artists out there, and not too long ago, LCS invited me (of all people!) to do an interview as well.
It is odd going on and on about yourself in an interview like that. At first you’re awkwardly aware that you’re shelving your gracious humility and cautiously unlocking the iron gates to your deepest thoughts for all to know. By the end of it, you’re freely blabbing on about every insignificant detail that comes to mind thinking of the next thing to say while you’re still verbalizing the last thought with a stirring confidence knowing that everyone’s just going to love hearing what you think about this or that. Yeeesh, it’s so narcissistic yet surprisingly satisfying to the soul.
Well, in that vein, without further ado, allow myself to share my bloviations in this LCS interview about…uh…myself :

Great interview, man. Not to self edifying — you could’ve turned on the ego faucet a bit higher…
Love the 2nd to last illustration in the interview set of prints (the guy with the red bathrobe). Hadn’t seen that one before — very neat. I had fun scrolling back and forth between the blue toned dreamy scene above and the harsh, red nightmare below.
