Favorite TV Shows?
(This is hard to narrow down!  Apologies for the long list...)

Well, naturally, Doctor Who!  Other Sci-Fi favorites are Stargate SG-1 and Star Trek TNG.

I love animation in general, and my favorite shows in that genre are Avatar: The Last Airbender and 90's Batman the Animated Series.  

Is spy/cop action/comedy a genre? I may have just invented it... we'll group Castle, Chuck, Alias, Burn Notice and Due South in here.

I adored Moonlight for it's all too brief run (see also Firefly, and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.).

I also really enjoy classic comedy, such as M*A*S*H and The Dick van Dyke Show.

Favorite Season 1, 2, 3, and 4 episodes?

Season 1:  Empty Child/The Doctor Dances.  Jack, so many Nine/Rose moments, and endless one-liners!
Season 2:  Tie between Tooth and Claw (Ten and Rose are SO CUTE) and The Girl in the Fireplace.
Season 3:  Human Nature/The Family of Blood.  Probably could have guessed that based on my contest entry...
Season 4:  Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead.  Love Donna in this ep, but man I wish Rose had been there to face off with River!

Favorite Doctor x Rose moment?

There are so many and I love them all!

I think my favorite Nine/Rose moment is the end of Bad Wolf, when the Doctor gives his "I'm going to rescue Rose Tyler" speech, and her face just lights up.

My favorite Ten/Rose moment is proooobably their reunion at the end of Satan Pit, when she rushes into his arms and he lifts her up off her feet hugging her.  Or, you know, all of them.

How long have you been a Doctor Who fan?  

I had been casually watching for a while before finally sitting down to watch New Who from season 1 at the end of last year and getting seriously addicted, so I'd say I've only been a serious fan for about 4 months now.  My brother is a long-term fan, so I had seen quite a few Tenth Doctor episodes with him and on my own over the years.  Though actually, Eight is my first Doctor, because I had seen the movie on tv sometime in the 90's and had only hazy recollections until I rewatched and it all came back.

What inspires you to draw?

Almost always stories, and compelling characters.  Whether it's a book I'm reading or characters in a favorite tv show, I love bringing images from my imagination to the page to share.

What advice do you have for those other artists out there?

Here's the one I have the most trouble with:  Don't be shy about your art.  Every artist I've ever met (myself definitely included!) has struggled with their art not being as good as they want it to be.  But it's so rewarding and motivating to share and discuss with others and to trade ideas.
