I consider myself an illustrator and designer, not a fine artist. That's not to say I don't have training in fine art, but that I am fascinated instead by the stories my drawings can tell (the materials I choose aside).
If I am a storyteller, is my responsibility to tell my stories or the stories of other people? Much of the artwork I do by commission doesn't feel like mine, but I often wonder if I have a story in me that's strong enough to share.
