View the works of this artist on this page:

1). How did you first discover The Chipmunks?

After moving to the city, I discovered cable...and of course, I then discovered 'Alvin and the Chipmunks'. That
would be around in 1985.

2). What got you interested in drawing Chipmunk fan art?

Around the fall of 2000 I surfed the net to find Alvin and the Chipmunks related sites. I came across the CFFA
(Chipmunks Fan Fiction Achieve). It no longer exists, but while it was up I saw a few artworks that were posted.
There were some that encouraged me to finally draw my own ideas (mostly they were based on my fanfic stories).
My very first story and fan art based on that story "To Lose Yourself" (revised in 2003, then again in 2009) was
first posted in 2001. From then on I kept adding to the Saga based on that first story, as well as fan art to go with
them. Other sketches came along in between.

3). What fan art have you drawn so far?

I have a wide range of styles that I draw in. Lately I have dabled in drawing the Smurfs and adding my own
characters from childhood, called the Smurfettes (stories and art can be found on my website). I also have drawn
the Biker Mice from Mars characters. I also remember drawing way back in the 80's the Transformers,
Ghostbusters, Duck Tales, and Chip&Dale's Rescue Rangers. Unfortunately, I do not remember what happened
to those sketches.

4). Do you have any plans ideas for future drawings?

If time will premit I shall have updated works done of the Chipmunks as well as other works on my website.

5). Which Chipmunk and/or Chipette do you enjoy drawing the most?

All of them actually. But I do enjoy drawing Simon and Jeanette's kids (from my Chipmunk Saga stories).

6). Do you draw them as they were on the show, and in the movies, or have you aged
them?

It all depends ;)

7). Have any of the episodes from the series, or any of the movies influenced, or inspired
your fan art?

Some, yes.

8). Have any other fans' artwork, or even fanfiction inspired your fan art as well?

A few have, indeed.

9). Have you done any illustrations for your, or others' fanfics?

I have done a few illustration 'title' pics for some of the other fanfictions, yes.

10). Where else do your ideas and inspirations come from?

Sometimes spoof ideas come to mind and I get a chance to draw some up.

11). Is there anything about your fan art that set them apart from the show, movies, or
other artists' work?

Like most artist they use fan art to better their skills, at the same time they usually have a little of their own style
to the art. My work is no different ;)

12). How would you describe your drawing style?

Almost pro... lol...

13). Do you prefer to work on your fan art in the traditional fashion, or digital?

Both.

14). Who are some of your favorite fan artists?

Charles William II is a very talented artist. He has great potential and a creative imagination.

15). Have you drawn fan art for any other shows or movies?

Mostly from my fanfic stories. But there are sometimes ideas come to me by watching certian movies, for
exsample, the 'Aliens VS Chipmunks' sketch came from watching 'Aliens VS Preditor' (a very awesome movie, by
the way...).
