Gina Interview Transcribed
Chop Gear: Is this a hobby or main line of business?
Gina-Rae Proxy: Um, it's mostly a hobby. A very expensive hobby.
CG: How long have you been an artist?
GRP: I've been selling comic books for about 2 years now but I've been comic'ing my whole life. Since I was six.
CG: Did you study this field or are you self-taught?
GRP: I did study but I studied graphic design and while it had illustrative elements it wasn't 100% just illustration. So, it helped but I would say it's a bit of both.
CG: How much time do you spend refining your skill?
GRP: As much as possible. Sometimes it's less than I like, mostly as much as possible- every spare minute I can have a pen in my hand.
CG: What inspired you to become an artist?
GRP: My mother loved to teach me to draw and it was always a fun thing we did together and um, I like stories and I...like how stories happen and images..haha...and sometimes they help you express, inexplicable things! So ya, storytelling inspired me to become an artist.
CG: Tips and encouragement for aspiring artists?
GRP: Do it for yourself. If you're doing it for any other reason, you're doing it for the wrong reason. Do it for other reasons too but mostly do it for yourself.
End.
