Interview with Dwayne Clare.

August 1st, 2008

Dwyane Clare is a very talented illustrator, conceptual designer and a good friend of mine. This guy is filled with creative talent, never does he seize to impress me and others with his unique loose lines that come together to form amazing expressions. Check out his website to see what he’s been working on.

Artist: Dwayne Clare
Title: Illustrator / Conceptual Designer

1. Let’s get personal, how would most of your friends describe you?

Short and ugly. haha.
Not sure. They probably think I am a bit odd, probably too red-neck for my
artist friends, and not red-neck enough for my red-neck friends. I am
pretty outspoken, and strongly opinionated so they probably think I am a
bit of a loud mouth too.

2. What inspires you to express your artistic abilities?

For me its all about bettering my craft, and making something I can be
proud of. Its a bit of an unattainable goal, so I get frustrated quite a
bit, and tend to descend into funks which can go on for weeks or even
months when I never draw, but eventually I come out of them. I have a real
hard time coming up with inspiration, which is what holds me back the most
I think. That and laziness. Why do I do it? I think mostly this is my best
bid towards immortality.

3. Mediums and methods, what’s your secret?

I have been drifting away from any traditional mediums, which breaks my
heart, but laziness wins again. The computer is just too easy. No set-up,
no clean-up. On the computer I have an intuos2 4×5 stylus. I draw with
photoshop. I have experimented with manga studio and painter, (which came
with the stylus) but I just can’t get a good feel for them, and keep coming
back to photoshop.
When I do draw with paper I use a staedtler clutch pencil, (hb, 2b) Copic
sketch markers and India ink. I have two kolinski brushes I use when
inking. I have had them for over 20 years. My paper of choice is muse
paper, which I can only find in Japan, so I get my wife to buy some on her
yearly visits. Barring that a nice hot pressed paper for inks works well.

4. What else do you do in your spare time?

I waste way too much time on the computer, but when I can get my butt in
gear I like to work around my house, read sci-fi, and build models.

5. If this was a high traffic blog, what would you shout out to the
world?

Please don’t forget to tell your favorite artists how much you like them.
We all try to be thick skinned, you have to be, but it means oh so much to
us to know people like what we are doing. Sure, if you are someone like
Audrey Kawasaki you probably don’t need your daily affirmations, the prints
flying out the door tell their own tale, but for those artists who haven’t
made it we can go a long, long while wondering if anyone even cares. A few
words can go a long way.

Bailey and the Chipmunk

I went outside to test out the video function on a new point and shoot camera we just bought. It just so happened Bailey, my dog, was very interested in something around the makeshift manual pad in my driveway. So walked over to investigate..
