What got you into art? What got you into comic art? My love for comics at about 10 years old got me into art and so of course comic art was what I wanted to do. You have a lot of retro florescent styled art? What got you into that style and how do you make such art? I liked drawing and tried to paint, but was never any good at painting. Then I saw spray paint art and loved the speed and details you could get with it. So I watched some videos and incorporated that into the comic world. I liked the bright colors for the spaces scenes I learned spray paint art with and found out they were fluorescent, so I just went with that and created the black light art I now concentrate on. I use my ability to draw and spray paint techniques, using dish washing liquid and power washing with water, with multi layers to create my canvas art. You do a lot of events in North Texas, what are some of your favorites and why? Over the last 7 years I’ve done most of them. They are all my favorites, but Denton Art and Jazz fest is one I like because it’s an art show not a comic con, its juried and hey I made the cut. What are some local creators that you enjoy their work? I like almost everybody’s work I can’t single anyone out. What are some of your favorite pieces? Even though I’m a marvel guy, my various Batman and Joker pieces are my favorites. If you could work on any project, character or creator, what or who would it be and why? I am working on my own story, for a novel or graphic novel. I would love to make it into a movie. What shows are you doing next? I have 28 shows this year spanning 72 days. For my schedule go to Mitchellstudios.com What advice would you give artists just starting out with comic art. Practice practice practice. What advice would you give for starting out in the convention circuit? Find someone like me that’s been doing it for a few years and get as much info from them as possible, most of us are willing to help. |
