Hello seniorita polyester and thank you for doing this interview with Colovision Magazine.

1 – To Start, tellus a bit about yourself where you were born and where you live…

Well, I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina… but currently i’m living and working in San JosÈ, Costa Rica.

2 – How did you get started in the arts?

I studied Graphic Design in “Universidad de Buenos Aires”. I didn’t finished because i got bored, even though I had just one asignature left :P

3-  Where do yo draw your inspiration from?

Too much movies, music, sinister people and photos, japanese people, old magazines, other illustrators works, spending time alone, Reader.

4-  Can you describe for us what a regular day is like for you?

I wake up late, like 11 am (is very hard to me to wake up in the mornings!), then i drink some tea and check my emails and my reader. Then i try to make the things on my “To Do” list.

5-  What is your most common approach for completing a project?

I’m very messy. First i have truoble in getting my ideas into reality. Then i make some crappy sketches on my notebook and when is ready i work the drawing in vectors.

Because i’m very impatient, the only thingh i want is to finish really quickly, but i never get it, because i’m also very perfectionist.

6-  Out of all your work what is your favorite piece and why?

I don’t have any favourite piece (in fact, i’m not 100% happy with all of them hahaha).

7-  Is it easy to make a living in the work that you do?

Is not easy. Work as a “freelancer” require too much dedication, effort and organization, but this is what i like so i’m very happy with that.

8-  Who is your biggest influence?

Eduardo Recife, Mark Ryden, Elsa Mora, Richard Colman, Diane Arbus, Takato Yamamoto and many more people.

9-  How important is technology for the work that you do? What tools could you not live with out?

Is very important, i coudn’t live without Photoshop and some vector program. Also I couldn’t live without internet access. Internet saves.

10- How important is color in your work and why?

Color is one of the most important things in any illustration. I really like to work with few colors, i like to think that color comunicate all the feelings i put on my illustrations.

11- Whats your favorite color?

Black and grey.

12- Where can people get in contact with you?

Trought my website www.senioritapolyester.com.ar, also Facebook and Flickr :)Similar Posts:

Hello Juan and thank you for doing this interview with Colovision Magazine.

1 – To Start, tellus a bit about yourself where you were born and where you live…
Well, I was born in San Miguel, 30 kilometers away from Buenos Aires, but always studied and worked in the big city, so I recently moved to a nice and cozy apartment in Palermo, a nice bohemian neighborhood in the capital city.

2 – How did you get started in the arts?
I´ve always loved drawing, since I was a kid. At a very young age I used to sit by mi cousin, who is a couple of years older, and try to imitate his drawings, with little success I may add.
I rediscovered the passion for drawing a couple of years ago, when I quit my former job in a web design studio, I was unemployed and had nothing else to do, so I started to draw again. And start to develop it for real.

3- Where do yo draw your inspiration from?
From everywhere, Fleischer cartoons, eastern religions, pulp magazines, vinyl discs, old toys, pop culture, classic artists, I don´t know, anything I can put my eyes on, basically.

4- Can you describe for us what a regular day is like for you?
I try to get up really early, like 7:30 am, fail to do so, get up at 9, get ready for work and leave.
I spend most of my day in the studio I work for, Peppermelon (www.peppermelon.tv) and then get back home where I do my personal stuff, nowadays, just paint and draw.

5- What is your most common approach for completing a project?
Normally I start by making a lot of hand drawn sketches, when i´m happy with it, it´s time to scan it and work with vectors first and then I retouch it with a photo retouching software, but, lately, i´m starting to do a little old fashion, oil painting, but it´s not good enough to show it.

6- Out of all your work what is your favorite piece and why?
I like many pieces of my work, but I think the PSA of Spongebob squarepants we did for Mtv in Peppermelon, is one of my favorites, because it shows my style in motion, and really like it!
Obviously, I couldn´t do it, if it wasn´t for all the talented people from Peppermelon!

7- Is it easy to make a living in the work that you do?
No, it´s not that easy because there is a lot of good illustrators and designers doing great stuff, but is a nice competition, I like watching awesome stuff from other people, makes me want to be better.

8- Who is your biggest influence?
I don´t have like a main influence, but i´d say Fleischer and 30s cartoons are something that marked me.

9- How important is technology for the work that you do? What tools could you not live with out?
Nowadays, without a vectorizing software, but I´m exploring new paths.

10- How important is color in your work and why?
Very important, because I don´t normally use outline, so the color is the way I separate shapes, and also because I love color, I love powerful, eye catching colors.

11- Whats your favorite color?
Think it´s green. But I like them all.

12- Where can people get in contact with you?
By mail, at paijuano@yahoo.com.ar, or drop me a message in flickr, where you can see my personal work, at www.flickr.com/reymisterio
Also you can check the work of my homies at Peppermelon where there are a lot of talented people making sweet stuff, and me .

Thanks a lot for the time and investment in Colorvision!
