Question 5

How do I get one of your marker sketches? What materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

Every few weeks, for fun, I do quick marker sketches. I don't take commissions or requests, and you cannot reserve any of them. I usually will post work-in-progress photos, and will let people know the approximate time they will go on sale. I sketch them in pencil on illustration board, ink them and color them with Copic pens and markers. I list them on Etsy for 30$ each. They sell out pretty quickly.

Question 6

Will you donate art to my charity event?

Accepted Answer

I get a lot of these, and I just can't do them all.  I have adopted a policy of choosing charities to donate to myself.  Sorry!

Question 7

Can I interview you?
