-Of the artwork that you have done, what is your personal favorite piece?  Why do you like it?

This is a picture of my fiance taking the tape down for me to show how large the wall was.

While I LOVE digital work, my favorite piece of my own is a mural that I painted for Mid-South Tournaments and games.  The wall was 10 x 25 feet and it honestly only took me two days.  I think this is my favorite because I went into this job not thinking much of myself as an artist and I truly impressed myself in the end.  I never called myself a painter, but whenever the job came up, OF COURSE I'M A PAINTER!  

-What piece do other people like most?  Do you agree?  Why do you think they like it? 
I painted this piece senior year in high school and it is still the one that everyone tags me to and compliments me on.  I believe it was my attention to detail within the painting that everyone loved.  Until recently, this was my favorite piece of artwork that I had finished.  In the end, the amount of time spent working on this piece paid off and I am very proud of it.


-What piece surprised you the most?
I believe this answer can be found back up with the first question.  The reason the mural is my favorite piece of work is because of how it surprised me.  I was able to step back from it and say "I did that" with confidence and pride.  I honestly do not have too many pieces of art that I can do that with.  It was the largest project I had ever taken on and I completed all by myself.

-Choose five doodles or sketches that you like as much as any of your finished pieces.
I do a lot of work off people's avatars on a website called GaiaOnline.  This was a quick sketch of a girl's avatar that I really enjoyed.

This was a quick sketch up for a valentine's picture for a friend off GaiaOnline.

This is actually a quick chibi sketch of my fiance while he played Xbox.

My wedding invitation started out as a sketch while I was bored in class one day.  I ended up adding the pink ribbon around it later and coloring it in.

These are the sketches that I'm currently working on of the mascot for the Brooks Museum of Art.
