alicebarbour asked: Hello! I really love your art - it sometimes reminds me of Edward Gorey - and i was just curious where you went to school? And also, do you mostly draw out of your head, from a photo reference, or from life?

Wow what a compliment - thanks! I went to Boston University for graphic design. It was a great program and I have no regrets, but I do wonder where I’d be if I’d been able to go to an art school for illustration or animation..

I draw a lot from my head but will often look up references if I’m drawing something specific that I haven’t attempted before. Lately I’ve been trying to do a lot more sketching from life too.

Yo tumblr, I’m tweeting up a storm over at http://twitter.com/debbiefongdraws !

And by that I mean, I post some “tweets” sometimes, and am trying to post “tweets” more often in order to stay hip and cool and whatnot. (Am I doing this right?)

At the laundromat watching my clothes spin like it’s a black and white movie.. Maybe I need some more color in my wardrobe.

Really want to get back into the habit of sketching everyday. It’s been so hard to find time and motivation lately, with all the lovely distractions that New York offers..

Two people at my (tiny) office are out this week with the flu. Trying not to be paranoid about my sore throat…

Something I started last week.. Need to get better at finishing stuff without getting sidetracked.

baby-intestines asked: Do you have a Facebook fan page at all? Thanks. =)

I don’t currently have a Facebook page for illustration stuff - I should probably get on that soon! :)
