Artist Interview with Traci Bautista

Play Prev|Next

I met Traci Bautista in January of 2009 at a craft and hobby trade show and we spoke briefly about doing a feature on our website. I’ve finally gotten around to doing so and am happy that I did. Her work stood out to me because she was using such a mash-up of materials, including Copic Markers, where most artist’s there were following more traditional paths. Her work is fearless, bright and expressive and as a mixed media artist there is always a lot going on and therefore a lot to enjoy. Read the interview after the jump. Find out when her next online workshop is happening and get involved. You won’t be sorry. (more…)

Artist Interview with Cat Staggs

Play Prev|Next

Some time last year I was contacted by Cat Staggs and was very excited by the work she was doing. She has a very painterly style and her techniques give her film and comic book icons a rich presence.

From her bio:

llustrating over 130 cards for the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith card set for TOPPS, Cat joined the Star Wars / LUCAS FILM family in 2004. The highly collectible artist’s sketch cards brought Staggs into the forefront of Star Wars fandom. Having produced exclusive prints for Star Wars Celebrations III, IV, and Europe, Cat has also contributed drawing tutorials and Halloween masks articles for the kid’s section, as well as illustrating short fiction for starwars.com

Not content to only play in that galaxy far, far away, Cat’s work has also been featured on The Lord of the Rings Evolution and Masterpieces card sets and three sets featuring Indiana Jones for TOPPS.

Moreover, further cementing her reputation among collectors and fellow artists, Cat’s distinctive work can also be seen on Rittenhouse Archives’ Iron Man-The Movie, Complete Marvel Avengers, X-Men Archives and DC Legacy card sets, as well as The World’s Finest VS trading card game for Upperdeck.

See below the interview for a brief description of her process. (more…)
