Artist Faerydae has taken the time to answer Eleven
Questions for an Artist so that we may get to know her a little better...
What inspired you to create in this genre?
I've pretty much always have, from when I first started creating anything, from stories, to pictures, to comics.
Where do you draw your inspiration from?
I
don't rightly know. Sometimes it seems to come from inside and other times it seems like I'm just channeling it -
I tend to call that when it happens, that it is my muse is speaking through me.
Are you self-taught or formally educated?
Self taught pretty much.
Do you
create in a specific ‘art’ space, or just anywhere in the house that’s available?
Anywhere. I do have specific spaces, but, I'll make do wherever I am, pretty much.
What is your favorite medium to work with?
For years it was pencil. Right now it's polymer clay and watercolors. Might change though, who can say?
:)
In what ways do you stretch yourself to
make your work grow?
I try to force myself to try things that I am not comfortable
doing and I try to experiment. I try to learn a little something from everyone and I am *always* studying the world around
me, how light falls and affects things, drapes of fabrics, etc etc.
Who
are the artists that inspire your work?
All of them! :)
What is the major venue you use to sell your work?
Currently eBay - but I am on pretty much any online venue I can be on.
Do you remember your first sale?
Yeah I was a kid. Sold a sexy elf
chick to a guy in the 5th grade. I was in 4th. I think I scored a buck.
What’s the most difficult thing about being an artist?
Being
creatively productive and finishing what I start is my hardest things. I often wind up expending so much energy trying to
help others that I do not always leave enough for myself. I am also notoriously slow and a perfectionist, so I have a hard
time finishing things. It's less an issue on my 2D stuff, I can relax more with that - but sculpting? Geez. I'm really
hard on myself.
Do you have a website, or other
contact information for buyers to reach you?
