What inspires you to draw?

Everything. I have a Fantasy Prone Personality, which means I doodle over everything. But music in particular- every piece I draw has a soundtrack.

Which is your favorite Season 1 and Season 2 episode?

World War Three- getting to see the Doctor, the domestic and the phrase "I could save the world but lose you." Nuff said.

Despite all the Tooth and Claw stuff I do, I think School Reunion barely wins out for the second season. Doctor!Angst coupled with Rose!Angst with the Doctor getting so close to blurting out his feelings (plus Sarah Jane! I want her to meet Martha, just so she can tell the Doctor his standards have slipped). And Tennant vs. Head is just...Guh.

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

A couple of things. One, Wire frames are your friend- the stick figures that map out where the basic bits go ensure you're staying within the laws of (relative) physics, and are easier to erase and reposition than the detailed over drawing- it's more work, but it's worth it. Two, Don't ever get discouraged. we all climb up from somewhere, and even the best sucked eggs at some point. I'm lucky- I minored in Visual Art and had some cartooning lessons, and have been illustrating for as long as I can remember. Three, Never ever listen to your fans. They will get you in trouble.

Which is your favorite Doctor x Rose moment?

"The Bits in Between"....oh, wait, that's still awaiting the seal of canon. Um, er, I guess it's a tie between the Marmalade incident in Fear Her, His reaction to the faceless Rose in the Idiot's Lantern, and the aforementioned scene in School Reunion. I generally rule out the kiss because the non-believers have too many excuses for it.

How long have you been watching Doctor Who?

I used to watch the old series in the early nineties because it was the lead in for Monty Python on PBS, while the new series I've watched since September. I was late X__X.
