First Interview

I just finished my first interview as an artist for GALA Online Magazine (http://www.galamagonline.com). Founded on the east coast of the United States by Christine Gerity of New Jersey, GALA Magazine / LGBT Artists' mission is to give voice to unseen, unheard, and undiscovered artists within the lgbt community. Since I still consider myself as "emerging", it felt like a good fit.

The interview took about 15 in total and the questions ranged from why I did quite corporate to pursue art to plans for the future. I hadn't thought about the reasons why I started this in a while. It was good to "go back to my roots." It was motivating.

All week I've felt like I have been wandering aimlessly. Towards the end of the week, I began doing a few little things to promote the new series (going on the web site this weekend) and those small steps in conjunction with the interview fired me up. I'm looking forward instead of backwards again.

Anyways, the interview was very fun. I'm happy I had the experience and I'm hoping for more interviews in the future. I'll post the link to the article when it gets posted.
