I am an artist but currently do not create art as my job (just for fun). I spent a lot of years working in traditional media (pen & ink, colored pencils and some painting) and after a 5+ year away from art; I decided to return to art via learning digital painting/drawing. Which I completely love!
Most of pieces are just random ideas I have when doodling. As I rarely sit down to do anything specific, my works change from minute to minute or day to day as I create them. I will occasionally work in piece of a life drawing but those are few and far bewteen.
My main influence/favorite artist used to be H.R. Giger but, my work now usually doesn't show that connection other than the "weird/strange" factor. I would have to say that Dr. Seuss is also a big part of my inspiration.
I really just like to keep my creative process free and open to evolution.
Currently, I have a career as an implementation/project manager for data/records management company. I look at a lot of spreadsheets and host a lot of multi-city conference calls all over the country. I often wonder why I haven't taken the time, or invested in myself, to make a career from my art. Well, such is life and I that is my goal for 2012 as mid 2011 has really been the first time I have shown my work to the world via facebook and deviant art.
Thanks,
Keith Cowan
