Why are you an Illustrator?
To tell a story, attempt to connect with people … I received my BA in Literature and I’ve been in love with storytelling since I first learned to read. I try to create a story that is relate-able and can make people happy.
Did you attend school for fine art or design?
I went to the Academy of Art in San Francisco for a year and a half. After receiving what I felt like was a good foundation, I dropped out. I’ve been drawing every day since.
Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up?
Like many, my mother was my role model. She is a strong, determined and independent woman and I took a lot of cues from her.
Who was the most influential personality on your career in Illustrations?
The most influential person has been my hubbahubba. His steadfast support of my desire to quit the 9 to 5 and go into art is what has made me who I am today. He manages my website, listens to my self-doubt and assists me at shows and exhibitions. He is there for all the mundane business work as much as the celebrations and art related events I attend.
Are many advertising agencies getting illustrations made these days? Do you work more with agencies or publishers?
Most of my work is personal. It is the majority of my income. I am the wrong person to ask about the illustration environment in advertising. I do hope to get into publishing, but that might take some time.
Was there any time when you wanted to quit Illustrations?
Honestly, I want to quit probably once a week! I struggle with self-doubt and I am highly critical of my work. I try to remind myself that I am not only as good as my last image – I have to see my work as a body, not judge myself by each image.
Have you considered turning your illustrations into toys?
Not as of yet.
Any other Indian Illustrators who you admire?
I enjoy the work of Sanjay Patel very much. I have met him a couple of times and its very encouraging to see another Indian face at shows and exhibitions. His work is modern and playful.
What made you decide to become a freelance illustrator? When did you start freelancing?
I have always wanted to create and I have never been a fan of authority. Freelancing means that I don’t have a boss which suits me well. I think the path to being an independent artist is an extremely difficult one, I am not associated with any studio or company – therefore there are many opportunities that I will never have… but I can create my own opportunities, I am working on some larger projects and I am able to truly focus on them. I write my own schedule – I get to work from home around my kitties and take walks through the Golden Gate park during the day. I don’t know if I’d want it any other way.
Do you have any favorite fellow illustrators or resources relating to your fields?
I love looking at Drawn.ca and I have a whole host of graphic novelists and illustrators that I follow via RSS. My current favorites are Vera Brosgol, Cale Atkinson and Oliver Jeffers.
You have such a wide experience as a top working professional. What advice do you have for aspiring creative professionals? Would you advise them to take on Illustration as a career option? Is it paying well enough?
I sincerely believe that if you love doing something enough and work at it everyday you can be successful.
Tell us something of your personal projects
I am working on a few things… you’ll just have to wait and see!
What is your dream project?
My dreams always involve books. Creating original kids books, graphic novels… If I had the opportunity to do that for the rest of my days, I would happily accept.
Who would you like to take out for dinner?
Marjane Satrapi, Chris Guillebeau, and Lane Smith.
What’s on your iPod?
Filmy hindi music, Adele, Foster the People, Gotye, Janet Jackson, Bob Dylan and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Mac or PC?

Os Jogos Olímpicos de Londres acabaram e, além de nossas lembranças, teremos daqui pra frente belíssimas imagens e vídeos para revisitar e contar para as gerações futuras como tudo aconteceu. E será um olhar não apenas através de televisão e cameras tecnológicas com super slow motion, mas também com registos fotográficos únicos de cada detalhe, esforço e emoção dos atletas.
No vídeo abaixo, a Reuters mostra o outro lado dessas fotos que ficarão na memória. São os bastidores do trabalho de alguns dos melhores fotógrafos esportivos do mundo. Uma dedicação tão grande como a dos atletas, que envolve muito equipamento, talento e senso de oportunidade.
É um documento que merecia ser visto em alta definição, mas pena que a agência de notícias subiu o vídeo em ridículos 360p. Ainda assim, vale conhecer como fotografa um evento do tamanho e velocidade de uma Olimpíada.
