HOW DID YOU DEVELOP THIS UNIQUE STRIPE TECHNIQUE The multiline technique has been applied in Japanese zen gardens for ages it has a calm ing effect You draw the lines in the morning and then feel good the rest of the day These structures stand out for me in tree bark especially I researched and found out that they can be illustrated particularly well using the multiline tools DOES THE NUMBER OF STRIPES MEAN ANYTHING FOR YOUR MULTILINE TOOLS No the number does not mean anything though I have noticed that my detail is be coming more intricate I used to end up with 15 lines in the wide tips of my marker pens whereas now I end up with 25 THE TECHNIQUE YOU USE IS UNFORGIV ING EACH STROKE NEEDS TO BE PERFECT ALTHOUGH THEY SEEM CALMING WHEN PUT TOGETHER ARE LOOKS DECEIVING As a person I m generally quite antsy and impatient When I work the lines flow from within me and provide a moment of respite Smaller paintings can be more forgiving if I make a mistake purely because I start a new painting if I am not satisfied On large areas I need to concentrate and collect myself before I can get started I never liked having to fix up pictures or apply a layer of paint on top of another Sticking rigidly to a specific design is not my approach WHAT COLORS DO YOU USE It depends on the surface though there are only four colors that I ever use I use ordinary products from the store often acrylic paint or ink from different companies and with high grade pigmentation and long color retention I condition the drawing tools and every roll and tip is made individually by me IS A LARGE OPEN SPACE A CHALLENGE It s not an issue for me I m a professional art ist and have trained myself to be able to paint even in the rather rare moments that I can t feel my flow In those moments I deliberately tune out shut off my conscious thinking and switch to autopilot Viewed from the outside the end result doesn t look any different from my other works While internally I might not be satisfied it will still be a very good pic ture and observers won t notice a thing As a professional artist it doesn t stress me out any more than it did before either I ll paint a new picture if I don t like the current one this is very normal I won t go digital and draw my art on a tablet computer I m more interested in handiwork than computer techniques 33
