What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
Seriously there are no easy parts, unless the easy part is the part where you have ten million ideas exploding inside your head 24 hours a day and then that leads to the hardest part, which is realizing every one of them to their grandest and most effective boundaries. And then make them better. That's...hard. But right in the middle there it can be easy. It's fun to sketch, it's painful to ponder, it's fun to finish, it's great to get started, it's itchy to erase, its alarming when it changes in middle, it's wonderful when you like it better, it stinks when you never want to look at it again, it's awesome to be done.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
I think every person would feel that their favorite piece is the last one you really enjoyed pulling off. For me, my favorite pieces are the ones that don't make we wince when I look at them at any later point, or that remind me of some old tact I was exploring and have forgotten about. So it changes. I like my poster for Jackie Marshall as it brought together elements of several of my personal directions into a cohesive, salty whole, and looks great in person. Enjoy.

What do you feel is the significance of online communities to inspiring artists?
The online world opens up huge piles of exposure to aspiring artists, for aspiring artists, and also exposes them to the temptation to mimic, milk, and manhandle formats not of their own original creation, outside of the process that makes them formulate, create, and establish their own unique vision. There is always instances of too much input being detrimental to wholly original thinking when an artist is developing. That said, the online community provides answers to technical questions, and also creates amazing communities of creators with similar interests. A bounty of information waits for anyone with the time to dig for it. Too much to see, some times.

What is the weirdest/strangest/funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?
Hmmn, well, recently a client said of my work, when presented with a sketch and concept for a new piece, that it looked too much like my work. Which might be funny or might not be funny at all. What do you think? Also, my first solo art show blurb review said, "Local oddball, Guy Burwell, has art show." So...

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
the easiest part is getting up in the morning, and the hardest part is
trying to figure out what to draw once I'm there.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
Most of them are my favorite pieces - there are relatively few I
dislike. for the sake of an answer, I'll say that my new jesus lizard
poster is a current favorite. I think it's appropriate for the band,
the printing worked well, the colors are good, and it's pretty
interesting.

What do you feel is the significance of online communities to inspiring
artists?
Having a community of people to work with is very important. Whether
it's people in a class, or studio mates, or folks you've never met who
you interact with online, it's good to have someone to bounce ideas
off of.

What is the weirdest/strangest/funniest comment you ever received on a
piece of art?
When small children critique the images, I often find things I never
noticed in the prints. The other best critique I received was seeing
my print on the floor wedged behind the toilet in a club.

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
For my, hardest part of the artistic process is start to draw what I want to draw, as soon as I have sketched vaguely what I want and I have centered , the rest is more simple. Also is hard to start the color of the picture.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
"She's a Rainbow", because I did it listening to the Rolling Stones song which have its name and the moment of color it was like magic and a feeling of happiness was surrounding me.

What is it about the deviantART community that makes you share your art there… that draws you to the deviantART community?

What is the weirdest/strangest/funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?

Karinkanzuki

Racquel Ormsby is known for her work with flowers. Racquel first started drawing when she was only 200 years old, making her a child prodigy. However, the bright pressure of being a child prodigy happily got to her and she had a sunny breakdown, resulting in her cutting off her own toe! Racquel found bloody inspiration from the lost limb and decided to frame it and hang it in her computer room for all the cats to see! Racquel eventually got married to a musician and they remain together fabulously in their compartment with their 3 children. Racquel would like to thank Eddie Izzard, Audrey Hepburn and the abominable snowman for their constant support and inspiration.

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
The easiest part is to start the piece. Usually in between start and finish, I have a hard time "finding" the piece. I do a lot of exploration to find out where I want to take the piece, and once I've decided on an idea or concept that I can really relate to, I'll take it to the finish, where the project becomes easier once again.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
That's a hard question to answer. I was told by a great artist once, "Every new piece you work on should be--and more than likely WILL BE--the better than the last." And I definitely feel that with the whole Heroes&Bandits project I worked on (which is the most recent work I've done) is the best thing I've created. It's even better, in a sense, since the artwork for Heroes&Bandits is artwork for my band, Rambling Rose and the Bitter Rodeo. With both of these hand in hand, I feel that this work can and will always improve and become something I can truly be proud of.

What is it about the deviantART community that makes you share your art there… that draws you to the deviantART community?
I found DeviantArt through some high school friends during the turn of the century. I didn't realize how big of a community it was until I entered college. It was then that I felt I should be more involved, and found that there is much more to DeviantArt than ART. There is a lot of life happening all around the website. I wanted to be a part of that by being involved in clubs, chatting in the chat-rooms as well as uploading artwork, voting in public polls and saying hi to fellow artists :)

What is the weirdest/strangest/funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?
"That looks like something Rocky did" *As I was standing right next to the person.

Things like that make me giggle with glee!

ArmadaRyu

Amanda Turnage is known for her work with stores. Amanda first started drawing when she was only 12years old, making her a child prodigy. However, the fantastic pressure of being a child prodigy gradually got to her and she had a dark breakdown, resulting in her cutting off her own knee! Amanda found bleak inspiration from the lost limb and decided to frame it and hang it in her bedroom for all the faucets to see! Amanda eventually got married to Rocky Balboa and they remain together spectacularly in their garage with their 21 children. Amanda would like to thank Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Monet and Alphonse Mucha for their constant support and inspiration.

What are the easiest and the hardest parts of the artistic process?
For me, coming up with an idea (inspiration!) and also composition and layout. Once that's out of the way, it's downhill from there.

Which is your favourite piece and why?
It's the largest watercolor I've ever done. It was the most challenging overall and it took me months to complete (mostly because of motivational issues and feeling overwhelmed by the piece). Once it was complete, I was very proud with how it turned out and proud of myself for sticking with it until it was complete.

What is it about the deviantART community that makes you share your art there… that draws you to the deviantART community?
The amount of support and inspiration that I get from my watchers and those who watch me. I love the interchange of knowledge within the community. Everyone's learning from each other and building relationships through their art. I think it's a beautiful thing. :)

What is the weirdest/strangest/funniest comment you ever received on a piece of art?
I do but I can't think of any right now ;_;
