Happy Friday Nerds!\u00a0 I have a wonderful interview with a talented artist for you today.\u00a0 You may have seen some of her work for a cosplay calendar or just on cosplay sites in general.\u00a0 Her name is Ally and she is very talented.\u00a0 I suggest after reading this interview, go to her FB page and show her some love.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Who are you and where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Allyson Averell – New Jersey<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. How did you discover your artistic talents?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been drawing ever since I can remember. When I was little I loved to draw animals and Disney characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. What made you get into the world of body painting?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had been face painting for awhile and wanted to push my skills\u00a0 so I began practicing on myself. You can see them in my “Painted on Myself” album.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Do you have a favorite body painted project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really am enjoying some of my new Disney pieces I have done, my favorite is still the Ursula I painted on myself, no one believes it is me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. I notice you are a very artistic individual. Do you prefer one medium over another?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love all mediums, my favorite is wood burning. I think it is unique and challenging. Obviously, body painting is fantastic as well. Can’t beat painting on a breathing, living canvas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. A lot of your art revolves around the world of comics. Do you read comics yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do. I am a huge Batman fan, especially the original comics since the beginning. Monthly I currently read Batgirl New 52 and Arkham City (love the video games as well).<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. What are your plans for the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just to continue pushing myself and become better at everything I do. I hope one day I can get published into a magazine or advertisement with my body paintings!<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. Where can my readers see more examples of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

www.facebook.com\/allysonaverell<\/a> and www.freewebs.com\/allysartwork<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

10. If you had to pick one project, which one is your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The large Batman painting I did of some of my favorite villians. I loved it so much, the client who bought it made me print of the painting so I could still hang it on my wall too :)<\/strong><\/p>\n
