Carmine Magazine: How would you define your style?
DF: I’m not sure how to define it, I think it changes a lot but quoting a dear friend ” ocidental comic book style with hints of realism”
CM: What things inspire and influence you and your artwork?
DF: Life, my friends, music, movies, quotes, other artists, emotions, you name it;
I used to collect comic books as a kid, I (like to) think that it had some effect upon my work; emotions play a great part while I’m creating
CM: Do you listen to music when you create? Describe your perfect creative work environment.
DF: All the time, I can work better with music, that way things flow naturally; I listen to The Doors, ALice in Chains, Guns’n'Roses, Incubus, Sex Pistols, Audioslave (I could go on forever) according to my mood;
I can work almost anywhere, as long as I have my sketchbook, a pencil & a pen
CM: What mediums do you work in the most? Why do you use them?
DF: Depends on my mood and what I have near me; most of the time I use ballpoints, markers, graphite; I like to combine different mediums (different types of paper, watercolors, markers, ink, cork…)
I rarely use drawing paper these days, most of my work is black & white, I dislike coloring, I use india ink, grey markers, white pen, white ink; I only use colors if it’s a complex pic.
CM: Name a few of your favorite artists.
DF: Dali, Schielle, Klimt, Andy Kubert, Frezzato, several artists on DA & LJ (too many to name), …
CM: If there was one style of art that you could take up what would it be?
DF: Expressionism
