A: Elfen magic. Well, that and computer graphics. I sketch out ideas in pencil on paper then scan and email them to the client for feedback. Once we've agreed on the direction to pursue, I flesh out the sketch using graphics software called Painter.

I used to work with real watercolors, but I like the freedom to experiment one gets with a digital image. If only everything in life came with an "undo" button...
