Greg Interview Transcribed
Oh hi, I’m Greg Nell, I’m an illustrator.
Chop Gear: Is this a hobby or main line of business?
Greg: This is my profession…as it is.
CG: How long have you been an artist?
GN: Professionally, the last 2 or 3 years. I’ve been drawing pretty much since I was about 5.
CG: Did you study this field or are you self-taught?
GN: Combination of the two. I did go to Fine Arts, I did fine arts at varsity but a lot of skills I got are self-taught.
CG: How much time do you spend refining your skill?
GN: Ah, not as much as I should. But I should draw more.
CG: What inspired you to become an artist?
GN: An inability to do anything else good. Haha, it’s true, it’s like I have only one discernible skill, it’s this, and shouting.
CG: Tips and encouragement for aspiring artists?
GN: Live drawing, man. Do life drawing every day. Yeah, that too – practice.
End.
