On work
I have
worked in several ad agencies before deciding to go freelance. I guess
I'm more of a storyteller than an advertiser.
|
On storytelling
I base
most of my stories on everyday experiences. I'm more keen on conveying
emotions rather than developing plots. Emotion breathes life into a story
and brings believability to that fictional world you've set.

On art
It's
important for an artist to realize his own style. Copying or letting
yourself be influenced by another's work is good for a start, just
don't let yourself get stuck with it. Try to evolve and develop
your own. Broadening your knowledge in other mediums is important
in acquiring inspiration. Another point -- inspiration is everywhere
so don't get trapped in reading and watching too much. Get out.
Talk to people, friends, family, loved ones. Draw inspiration from
everyday life. It has inexhaustible references and is always original.
