Tell us about your background?
I’m from the Philippines; I’ve lived here all my life. Here it’s either really hot, or really rainy– so I spend most of my time indoors. I’m a Filipina by blood (I’m often mistaken for Korean/Japanese/Chinese), and I thrive best in an urban/suburban environment. My mother paints really well, and so does her mother. I guess I got my artistic genes from them– except that I can’t quite handle paint.
Have you had artistic studies and was it useful for you?
Aside from the typical high school art class– no, I haven’t had formal artistic schooling. High school art class was fun (at times), but it’s probably not the main proponent of my artistic ability. :)
How would you explain your style of illustration?
My art style dislikes rules, rulers, measurements, borders…
What programs do you use to create your illustrations?
I normally use traditional felt-tip pens (Artline, 0.1 and 0.2) on plain old bond paper. When I use the pen tablet, I work with Photoshop. But I’m not every good at the digital drawing thing.
What are your creation processes?
I take in everything beautiful that I see. I daydream about lines and curves and the organic structure of plants. I get a clean white sheet of paper, and a felt-tip pen that hasn’t run out of ink or had its tip flattened yet. I put the pen to the paper and I let my daydreams out.
Thanks Feanne for having taken her time to make this interview with us
Interview done by Flavio Monteiro for UAILAB
July 2007
I really have a couple of styles of working, my highly rendered work is more influenced by traditional fine art, then theres a more commercial side that is favoured by the editorial, publishing, fashion market.
I got involved with illustration four years ago. I’m self-taught, I have no degree (or anything close to it), nor any professional training.
I try to do whimsical and abstract drawings. I think my style is a mish mash of the ways that effort ends up coming across.
