F.A.Q
What art programs do you use for creating?
I primarily use Adobe programs such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign, and Illustrator. Procreate is used for on the go creation.
What did the username euqinimodart mean, and why did you change it?
It is simply my first name backwards, plus the word “art”. I created it in college sophomore year when I noticed other artists creating fancy aliases (little did we know that we’d have to change our usernames years later).
How long have you been an illustrator?
I have been a working illustrator and designer for 8 years. Started out doing private commissions around my town, and for people online.
