What’s your process like?
I listen to a lot of music. Usually death metal or rock metal, old music as long as it’s rock, or indie–but it has to be rock. I just love rock so much.
There’s also this song called “I Want to Leave” by The Plot in You, and I listen to it all the time right now, it’s my favorite song. Also this one that I listened to today when I was drawing, by Dead Poet Society, called “CoDA.”
I only paint at night. I’m more comfortable, and I’m more awake. I use oil because it’s one of the softest paintings, it’s very easy, smooth, and soft, and so if you make a mistake it’s easy to paint over and fix.
I paint at night. Only in the day if I have homework due, and I really have to finish a painting. Every single day, I have to start my paintings at night. I’m more comfortable at night, I’m more awake.
A lot of people commission work from you on Instagram, and it seems like you interact with other artists a lot there.
I guess I gained followers by playing video games. Lots of horror games–Amnesia, Left 4 Dead, Starbound, CSgo. I used to play CSgo competitive. And then Legal Legends, and Minecraft, of course, that’s like my favorite game.
I’m online a lot. I used to model when I was a bit younger, when I was 16. I love the attention. I love people messaging me saying, “hey can I buy your art?” I love all that. I want to become really well known at a young age so I can make a lot of money and pay for my college, for anyone who has talent to go through college, too. I want to get my art out there, for people to see it and buy it. I want people to see it and be like, “Oh she’s a cool artist. She has cool hair, she looks cool.” I want people to think that.
Do you have any artists who inspire your work?
I follow a lot of artists on Instagram, there’s a lot of artists I really like, and I don’t want to sound too cocky, but I never really got inspired by anything like that. I do watch a lot of anime, and that kind of inspired the big eyes that I love.
What scares you these days?
The only thing I’m afraid of is the ocean.
