The Interview

nijes aka Gabor Tomasi, Featured Artist for Muse

Justin says: Okay, so are you ready to start this thing?
Gabor says: Yap, I am
Justin says: Okay cool. Let's start off with the basics.
Justin says: Where are you from?
Gabor says: Germany, unfortunately. Don't like this country, neither the politics here. I'm planning to move one day in another country. Probably something like Austira.
Justin says: I see.
Justin says: How long have you been doing digital-art, and what do you use to create your work?
Gabor says: Seriously, I can't remember when I started with it. But I would say that my active time started like 1 1/2-2 years ago, even when wasn't active in any digital-art communities or something. Just tried my own stuff and to find my own style. I use almost everything I know, or at least I try everything. I don't want to stuck with one program, and try to learn every single screen design software.
Gabor says: Hard way to go and after a while you realize that especially digital-art is something where you will every day learn something new. That's what I like about it.
Justin says: That's good to work with all different programs I think
Justin says: Do you remember how you got involved in digital-art
Gabor says: Some day I saw these pretty images as signatures in different Forums and I wanted to make something like this. So I started to make my first terrible graphics. It was kinda confusing and hard to understand at first, so I broke it after a while. But then the wish to make something great like that came up again and I tried harder to improve myself. So and here I am.
Justin says: What do you like to do for fun, besides digital art?
Gabor says: hard to say. Digital art is a part of my life and I spend much time with it. It's almost like my only "hobby". It keeps me up and every time I see that I know a bit more about it I'm glad. But except digital art I love music. Not making it, but listening to. It's like a way to show my feelings and this, even when it's a bit scary, makes me "happy".
Justin says: Yeah, music is one of my major influences in my art. So I can see where your coming from.
Justin says: So, how does it feel to be the featured artist for EvokeOne's fifth exhibition, muse?
Gabor says: I'm proud about that "title". There are other artists that are good enough to become the featured artist also, for sure. The way I joined EvokeOne was a bit difficult, what makes me proud again that I'm the featured artist of the first pack where I've been real active. By the way, thanks for it
Justin says: No problem : )
Gabor says: Hehe
Justin says: So, is there anything else that you'd like to tell about yourself?
Gabor says: About me? I'm not an interesting person. Just like everyone else with some dreams and wishes and problems. Nothing special
Justin says: Haha
Justin says: What would you say to someone if they wanted to be as good as you or others? What would you tell him/her?
Justin says: In other words, what advice would you give someone who is starting out?
Gabor says: Just try it and don't give up, even when it seems to be hard sometimes. There is nothing you could not learn with the time. Just take a look to some art communities and others’ art. That will help a lot, try to imagine how they could make it and try it yourself. And one important thing I had to learn was that arts need time, much time sometimes. Spend more time on them, the details, quality etc.
Gabor says: and it will be much better
Justin says: Good advice.
Justin says: The hard part’s over So.. hm, do you have any pets?
Gabor says: No, but I always wanted to have a cat. I love them, they are just lovely hehe. Who doesn't like to cuddle with them all the time?
Justin says: Haha, yes, you're right
Justin says: Do you have a portfolio at the moment?
Gabor says: At least a portfolio in process. My first real try to make a pure-flash site. You'll find it under www.7souls.net/Flash - it isn't finished yet, but the most important parts are online.
Justin says: Well, I guess this about sums it up!
Justin says: Thanks for the interview man
Gabor says: No problem
Justin says: keep pumping out those awesome pieces!
Gabor says: I'll try. Already working on some stuff, some of my first real tries to model something. They will take a while but I hope I'm good enough to finish them.
Justin says: You will
Justin says: Thanks, see you around.
Gabor says: Bye
