I’m a big fan of the art and fiction of Brom. In fact I was a supporter of the “The Art of Brom” Kickstarter project and I can’t wait to get my hands on what promises to be an amazing book. In the mean time, here’s a great interview with the man himself along with a great selection of his work.
Q: What keeps you creative? What is coming in your mind every morning while you go to work? Is there any trick that people should know in order to become successful? (laugh)
A: Sometimes it is harder than other times to be in the mood to create. I do not have the luxury of waiting for my muse, so I just dive in, fortunately that is often the solution, to just dive in, let the paint take you.
Q: Art could be a great influence on someone’s personality. What is the best lesson that you’ve learned from your art journey?
A: Trust your own vision.
Q: In a few words, can you give a little advice to all aspiring artists?
A: Put in your portfolio the kind of work you want to do, as what is in your portfolio is the kind of work you will get.
