Hometown: Peru,
Indiana
Dream job: comic
artist at Marvel Studios.
Most memorable art experience: During my junior year, Prof. Leah
Gauthier asked the 3D design class to construct a soft sculpture
with one dimension at least 3 feet in length, so I constructed a
life-size doll of an anime character, which proceeded to haunt my
living room for the next 3 weeks-it always looked like there was an
intruder lurking!
Favorite Portfolio Piece: My current favorite is a piece I created
for a Sequential Illustration class, and is the second page to a
short graphic representation of the song "Hot Air Balloon" by Owl
City. Drawn on heavy manga paper, I used markers to
illustrate a young boy and girl dressed up as prince and princess,
taken loosely from the lines "we wrote a prelude/to our own fairy
tale."
Tools: My M.O. is the marker and my hobby is costume sewing and
stitchery, and if you ask me to create something, I can probably
think of some media in which to accomplish it. I pretty much
am in love with creating with any material. But if you asked
what art supplies I couldn't live without, that would be my trusty
Mega Lead pencil and white plastic hunk eraser. I carry them
with me everywhere I go, like Linus and his security
blanket.
Favorite Vegetable:Aesthetically speaking, it's a nice, plump
beefsteak tomato, but to eat, it's definitely fresh, locally grown
corn-on-the-cob.
