Interview with PHILIPP IGUMNOV
q)please tell us a brief info
about yourself.
a)My name is Philipp Igumnov.
I'm 26 y.o. freelance designer from Moscow, Russia.
q)Tell us about your humble
beginnings, When did you you first realized that you wanted to be an artist?
a)I really don't know. Maybe
it was about 9 or 10 years ago, when I started experimenting with photoshop. I
was enjoying making pictures.
And I do so now.
q)What are your tools?
a)Mostly Photoshop and Adobe
Illustrator. Also sometimes I use pencils, pens, scissors and watercolor.
q)Who or what gives you
inspiration?
a)I get inspired by slow
melodic music, and by people who surround me, and sometimes by movies, books,
and many other things. You never know what will give you inspiration. It's like
a flash in your conscious mind.
q)Is your artistic background
self-taught or did you go to college to study?
a)Self-taught.
About a year ago I wanted to
start studying art in school of modern arts "mmoma" here in Moscow,
but they said that I'm not cool enough to breathe the same air with them. So I
dropped that idea for now.
q)How do you keep “fresh”
within your industry?
a)Well, I'm surfing lots of
internet sites about art and design, watching tons of pictures, and I think it
helps me stay up-to-date.
(but I'm not sure that my collages
looks very fresh)
q)What are some of your
current projects?
a)Now I'm making corporate
style design for a construction company and helping my friend with interior design.
Not very interesting though
q)Which of your works are you
the most proud of? And why?
I totally wasn't expecting
that my picture could be liked by so many people. And since I made it, I
realized that I can make something right. That I'm not so useless as I thought
before.
q)Are there any areas,
techniques, mediums, projects in your field that you have yet to try?
a)Yes, sure. I want to try
making animated cartoons and 3d models.
q)What do you do to keep
yourself motivated and avoid burn-out?
a)Nothing. Sometimes I just
stop and do nothing.
Except my job, where all the
things are usually coined and I just need to make a picture with them.
q)how do you spend most of
your free time?
a)Well, in my spare time I
like to walk around my city, listen to a good music, watch movies, make
pictures for myself and sometimes play computer games.
q)What contemporary artists or
developments in art interest you?
a)Richard Vergez
