Interview with Raman Singh

Image
Raman Singh is an artist living in the D.C area. He teaches full time and also sells his work professionally. We have conducted an interview with him about his oil paintings. How unique are the kind of oil paintings that you create? My work is unique in many ways because of both the range in subject matter as well as the techniques used to create the paintings. I have a varied array of work, but two areas I do focus on are portraiture and cityscapes. The portraits are created using classical methods of paintings by creating layers of oil paint with brushes. My portraits carry subtle but powerful facial expressions that reflect deep moments in the individual’s life. With the brush I am able to create many layers, which results in a refined and focused portrait falling on the lines of realism. The cityscapes are very expressive in a way that I primarily use a palette knife to paint the pieces. The palette knife gives a very unique look involving high energy strokes of paint ...

ReppedBy

Dylan Kamm is an actor, writer, director, and an entrepreneur. He is the CEO and co-founder of a startup called ReppedBy , which is designed to help actors, models, and dancers find talent representation in a much faster and more effective way. We have conducted an interview with him. What are some of the immediate problems with finding talent representation? There are two ways to find representation right now, one is hardcopy submissions where you mail your headshots into agencies and the other is when you email them to agents. The hardcopy submissions are very expensive and can cost actors and models almost $2 per package and you have no idea how many get opened. With email submissions, it is extremely time-consuming as you have to go to each agencies website and one by one figure out what that agencies submission policy is and continuously repeat that procedure. How did you help solve these problems? With ReppedBy you make one single package and with one click of a...

Karikulturist

Today our guest is Karikulturist from Bulgaria. He is unemployed in the eyes of law as he is striving to make Fiverr a full-time job in comic/caricature industry. We have conducted an interview with him. How did you first discover your talent in comic drawing and caricature cartoon drawing? Caricature drawing has actually been something that intrigued me since I was a little boy. Maybe 5 or 6 years old. Just like every little rascal at that age, I would wake up early on Saturdays just to watch Looney Tunes. But I wasn't just watching, I was questioning them - ''that's not a real rabbit; look at their face; why are their eyes so big; how did someone think of that; how did they draw that''. So at 8 years old, I made my very own sketch of my first comic - it illustrated ''The Tortoise and the Hare'' fable. How do you describe your cartoon drawing styles? - I've been blessed with a unique imagination, causing me to produce s...

Winter Bugs

We have conducted an interview with Lisa Loucks Christenson the author of the 10th year anniversary edition of Winter Bugs . The book is a documentary inside a larger documentary (Walk the Burn), and is a study of insect life during a Minnesota winter. What makes you happiest? Knowing God has my back, and the support of my family, friends, pets. Why do you write? I write because I want to share my experiences when I’m writing non-fiction, my other worlds when I’m writing fiction—I love adventures. Have you always enjoyed writing? Yes, since I was a child. What motivates you to write? Anything, really. My husband jokes he could stick me in a cornfield and I’d find someone to talk to. Talking and sharing lives motivates me to write. What writing are you most proud of? I have many pieces I’m proud of. If I had to pick, I’d say my inspirational works that give glory to God are my best works. One documentary in particular is my, Struggling for Exi...

We have conducted an interview with Ashley. What is your belief? What is your fear? I am spiritual. You can refer to me as an agnostic. I believe in a higher being, whatever that might be. I just refuse to label it. My overall fear is being alone. It's because I come from a big family and thought of nobody close frightens me. I struggled like everyone else to be accepted. I had to endure rejection from family and friends until I found my own happiness getting lost in writing and piano. Later I wasn't trying to impress anyone but focusing on myself. There I Found true beauty in knowing who I am and accepting my flaws . I know I'm not the only who struggled with this. Why are you advocating self-love? Why is it important? It's important to me that I reach...
