Posting some Textual Thoughts
I think I’ve always been sort of bad about posting text with my images…for some reason I think that anything I could have to say about the art is just silly and unimportant, but I always admire people who can do a blog post with lots of text too! I always like to hear about the process, what the thoughts that go into it are and the context it was made.

pencilcasserole asked: What's your usual process for laying down color with gouache? I've been experimenting with it and it's a tricky beast...I try using it like oils, laying down thick color on top of thin washes, working from light to dark like in watercolor, but I still have problems with lights bleeding up into darks and dulling them.

lauralewis asked: Will you be taking on mentees again for the summer?
carliefornya asked: In your experience, are artistic employers willing to accept interns who may not be totally experienced, yet passionate & willing to learn, vs people who have the tech skills yet are personably not as warm? Artists need to be good to get to their goal, but perhaps for the weaker, will their desire to learn and become better *on the job* be recognized too?
okayla asked: Your stuff reminds me of old school illustrations a lot, like retro sixities kids books. Is that your biggest influence/inspiration? I'm sure Mary Blair is one of them because I've heard you mention her before, but are there any other artists like that you find inspirational?
violet-hour320 asked: What brand of Gouache paints to you use? I love your work by the way! :D You're a huge inspiration for me :)
