Some Excerpts
Was there a subject in the B&B universe you especially love to draw? and something you especially find difficult to draw? I loved doing Catherine, as I mentioned above, and I also enjoyed fanciful pictures like the "Dragon and Unicorn" painting from Forever And Always 3. I did a number of pictures for sale at B&B conventions that featured Catherine and Vincent in historical costume. I liked to "take them out of context." Since I wasn't particularly fond of doing architecture and the like, I most often featured the figures by themselves, or with natural landscapes or objects.
Which of your B&B works do you like best, and why? If you were forced to pick one of your art works as a favorite, what would it be? I haven't looked at my artwork all together for some time, so it was fun remembering what I'd done years ago. (Some of the art I wince at, but so it goes!) My favorite pieces are: Catherine & Vincent in his Chamber from Sweet Sleep Of Night (in the adult section); Vincent and Lion from Embrace The Night; Catherine and Lioness from She Walks In Beauty; Dragon and Unicorn from Forever And Always 3; The Kiss from Sweet Sleep Of Night; Catherine with Roses from Within The Silver Mirror; and Catherine and her Daughter from Threshold To Dreams 2. Probably my absolute favorite is "Catherine and Lioness" from She Walks In Beauty.
Did you create your B&B art from scratch, or find inspiration in photographs, video scans and such? Or both? I always used photographs for reference, and sometimes from video scans for specific expressions on the characters' faces. I spent quite a bit of time going through magazines clipping photos for future drawings.
