Questions:
1:30 - How did you set up your website? Was it professionally done or did you put it together yourself?
2:40 - When you use Gamsol to blend colored pencils, does it affect the water based media you’ve already laid down?

8:30 - Do you do any follow-up on clients once you have worked with them. Do you keep track of them? Do you try to reach them somehow to build perhaps some more collaborations?
10:00 - Do you listen to podcasts while you work? If so, what are your favorites? 
11:00 - Can you list a few YouTube artists channels that you give you insight and inspiration.
13:40 - Do you recommend any good gold marker? Do you find your prints are exactly like one to one in color like your originals? 
14:50 - I am a self-taught artist, working primarily with black India ink on paper. Currently I am in music school in Boston, but now in my senior year I realize that art is my passion and music is an interest. Any thoughts on pursuing art, so late in the game? (21 yrs old)
16:40 - How do you plan to continue to work at home after having the little bundle? Will you find out the gender?
