Thoughts on art:I first got serious about drawing my freshman year of high school, having finally found the confidence to LEARN art. Certainly I've come a long way in 7 years, but I didn't start out raw. I drew through all my public school career, being creative is how I coped with everything that went on in my life. Now, it is a passion that I wish to follow all my life.
Favorite subjects:If you can't already tell, I like fantasy a great deal. My favorite subjects happen to be of my own original creation, and I love them all dearly. Aside from those folks, I adore foxes and am facinated by Crows and Ravens. They are familiar motifs in my work.
Goals:I would love to someday work for a company that designs video game environments or characters. In all honesty I would LOVE to work for Big Idea or Blue Sky.
Books/Comics: The Immortals by Tamora Pierce, The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter Series by Laura K. Hamilton, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, The Chronicles of Chestomanci, Death Note
TV/Anime:Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Panic, Ergo Proxy, Le Chevalier D'Eon, Rahxephon, Avatar the Last Airbender, ReBoot.
Music:Nickel Creek, E Muzeki, Peter Gabriel, A Perfect Circle. In general, I like EVERYTHING, but mostly music that gets my imagination working.

What is with all the ears?

Because most of my original characters are in a fastasy world where 'funny' ears are not uncommon. They are not 'elves' or 'fairies' for the most part, they simply have ears that are shaped different. Though several are of a different race altogether and others are not beings of this plane (i.e. Vulpecula). I can't go into too much detail about my orignal characters at this time, mostly because there are many details that are not concrete yet. There's more about it at my deviantArt profile for those of you that are curious.
