When youre not playing with Disney and Photoshop, what do you do on a daily basis?
Im a graphic designer working 9 to 5. Now Im the process of entering a new office, so now I kind of just stay at home.
My work is the usual but I do a lot of digital imaging for social media content, because my base is illustration so my graphic designs are mostly illustrations, not just layout, but creating images.
Do you consider yourself as an artist?
Its tricky to say, because what I do now (with Disney characters) is considered collage art, but Im reluctant to go into that argument (that Im an artist) because this is what I do just for fun. Essentially, its still art because its creating a new content out of existing images thats why we call it collage art but I wouldnt use the artist title for this.
Whats next for you after this? Will the fame become a stepping stone in your career?
Im not sure because what I do for career is different to what I do for fun. If I do use this as a stepping stone, it wouldnt connect to what Ive been doing professionally. But I dont know where this will lead us. Im open to anything. After all, Ive never expected big media to take notice on me in the first place anyway.
