It was the first time I ever fell in love with fantasy art, and I haven\u2019t stopped drawing since that book. I think it was called Neon Dragon Art or something like that?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What inspired your artist name?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>My artist name, Isledari, is actually the name of the world I&#8217;m developing in my free time. It is one of the oldest stories I have floating around in my brain. A friend of mine in 2015 told me I should create an Instagram and I couldn\u2019t think of a name I liked. So I chose that one because it was a word I made up and therefore could use for any social media I ever plugged into, and on a more metaphorical level, it is a word that encompasses all the things I spew from my imagination, haha!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IS2-801x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IS2-801x1024.jpg 801w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IS2-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IS2-768x982.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IS2.jpg 1047w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which of your own drawings are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I actually wrote and illustrated a children\u2019s book for my senior project back in college, and that entire book as a whole I am extremely proud of. It was the first big project I ever completed all by myself, and is hopefully the first of many more to come.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you own any work from another artist that gives you inspiration? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I RARELY buy art from other people (I don\u2019t know why, I&#8217;m just a penny pincher I suppose) but I DID buy the first two graphic novels from the web series <strong>Stand Still Stay Silent<\/strong> which, if you haven\u2019t read you totally should because it is AMAZING. The other book I own but was actually gifted to me from a professor is a copy of <strong>Middlewest<\/strong> that he got signed by the artist Jorge Corona who is SUCH an inspiration to me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which artists are your biggest influences? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Easy!

It\u2019s not the best method, but if there\u2019s a project with a deadline, it gets top priority.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do you have any upcoming commissions you are excited about? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I actually just finished a commission for a really awesome couple who were just so quirky and fun and open minded to the whole process! It was really refreshing and their idea was just SO COOL. I would probably print a copy for myself if I had the chance to, haha!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are there any franchises you want to design for? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>One day, I would like to either work with a writer or write and illustrate my own story I&#8217;ve been developing for <strong>NASA<\/strong>. I think it would just be the coolest to create something for them that gets younger generations as hyped for NASA as I am, having grown up as the only artist in a scientist and engineer oriented family.

Nah, traditional for sketching and inking, but I\u2019m all for digital coloring. That\u2019s so fun.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What tools and programs do you use? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I use India Ink to ink, gelly roll pens, Crayola markers, and Adobe Photoshop mostly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long do you usually spend on a piece of work? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Depends on how big it is honestly.

In terms of actual characters that aren\u2019t mine, well I always love drawing me a Bucky Barnes Winter Soldier doodle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is your favourite thing about being an artist? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This is going to sound cheesy, but I love working in a medium that extends beyond the bounds of different languages and cultures. Art can connect people from all sorts of different backgrounds, and can have a deeply profound effect on people without uttering a single word. It is the language I most resonate with, and it is my favourite form of self-expression. I feel like people understand me through my art and I can speak to so many people through it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You\u2019re working on a children\u2019s book called \u201cForest Level One\u201d.

I am reaching out to publishers now, as well as agents to see if anyone will bite, but alas, not yet. Soon, I hope.
