How about a brief introduction?
Hi, I’m Katie! I’m a freelance illustrator, avid self-publisher and I also now teach illustration classes. I love tea, and books, and I have a Biology degree. Don’t ask.
What does going green mean to you?
Going green, for me, is a bit of a no-brainer. It boggles my mind that we’ve built a culture and society that is utterly disconnected from the land and the environment we so depend on. Producing ‘green’ products is a (very) small way of showing respect for the planet and awareness of these issues. Its nowehere near enough, but it’s a start.
What projects are you currently working on?
I’m always working on my monthly zine, The Green Bean – as soon as one is printed I have to get to work on the next. Its quite a commitment but I enjoy every moment of it. My major project is my graphic novel which, at around 400 or 500 pages, means I have a couple of years’ work ahead. Its a good thing I like to draw!
What’s your favorite tool?
If I had to choose one, it would be a pigma micron pen. But my computer is also very high on the list.
What 3 words would best describe you as an artist?
Such a hard question! After much deliberation: meticulous, conscientious and, well…. green!
