Carmine Magazine: How would you define your style?
Marie-Josée: My style is figurative and illustrative. It is a mix of whimsical, magical, folkish and just a tiny bit creepy. I am actually in the process of uncovering it. After years of trying to emulate things I liked and doing endless school projects, I have taken a [...]

Carmine Magazine: How would you define your style?
Theresa Hall: Multi-layered and experimental, hopefully reflecting my life and philosophy.
CM: What things inspire and influence you and your artwork?
TH: Quotes-I’ve collected quotations for years. Organic things and abstracts. It’s easier to ask me what DOESN’T inspire me because I’m interested in everything. I live in Tucson and [...]

Carmine Magazine: How would you define your style?
Brian Ewing: Beats me. “Failed comic book art?” Not something I ponder. I spend more time worrying about paying the rent.

CM: What [...]

CM: What things inspire and influence you and your artwork?
JM: A great sleu [...]

Carmine Magazine: How would you define your style?
Leanna Wright: It’s rather cartoonish and surreal with a large heaping of retro influences and a love for detailed linework.
CM: What things inspire and influence you and your artwork?
LW: I don’t know how else to put it besides human culture and subculture. Music, fashion and cult/classic movies definitely [...]

Carmine Magazine: How would you define your style?
Melissa Haslam: Illustrative, whimsical, melancholic, sensual, escapist. It probably falls into the pop-surreal genre.
CM: What things inspire and influence you and your artwork?
MH: So many things! Nature (especially the exotic), the female form, fashion photography, vintage culture, and botanical art.

Carmine Magazine: How would you define your style?
Nikki Vallance: Eclectic and chaotic. I use art journals as a way to express things that I can’t put into words. Speaking technically, I use a lot of mixed media in order to create pages that are often messy, splattered, layered, and subdued by quieter colour palettes. I’d [...]
