Interview for NuWav Magazine

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 18, 2008, 10:05 PM


I just answered an interview for spanish online magazine called Nuwav Magazine ([link]) Thought you guys might enjoy:
__________________________________________

* How is Aaron Jasinsky?
I am doing good. Real busy, but that's a good thing right? :)

* How was your childhood like?
I would say I had a happy childhood. but I was often a moody kid. I am the eldest of 7 children. Had great parents. Pretty normal life.

* When you notice that you wanted to be an artist?
I have been drawing since I could walk. Ever since I can remember.

* How is your favorite artist?
It's hard to say who my favorite artist is. That changes all the time. Some that I look up to: J. C. Leyendecker, Norman Rockwell, John Held Jr, Picasso, contemporary artists like Greg Simkins, Joe Sorren, Kathie Olivas, so many others.

* you are a "multifaceted" artist... but in terms of art, what do you
prefer?

I definitely prefer to paint. It's my favorite art form.

* What are you doing right now? working for some big company or doing by yourself?
I am the lead designer for OurWorld.com [link]. It's a virtual social world based around casual games. I do the user interface and work on interaction and usability issues. I also paint paintings for artshows in my freetime.

* If you can't do art anymore, how do yow see you?
What would I do??? Probably pursue my music interests professionally. Or try to become a pro-bowler. :D

* With all this tech, what do you thing about art and artist today?
I think this is an awesome time to be an artist. There are so many avenues that you can choose to go. You don't have to be a "starving" artist. Good art and design is wanted by everyone. If you want to make it your career, there is probably a way to do it. You just have to be creative!

* Coca cola or Pepsi? :P
I like both...Coke Classic. Wild Cherry Pepsi. Coke Zero. Pepsi Twist (I don't think they make it anymore but it was dee-lish).

* What do you do on your free time?
What freetime??? Spend it with my family I guess.

* do you cry with movies?
If it is a movie about sacrifice- like a war move where a guy dies to save his buddies, I might get little teary.

* favorite color?
all of them.

* Your worst part?
uh??? I don't like my chin.

* favorite song?
I like me some Bill Monroe, or Johny Cash, or The Shins, or The Cure. (how is that for divers?)

* With your friend or alone?
Depends on my mood. Both.

* Wine, Vodka or Rum?
Me no drinky alkee-hol.

* Favorite sport
Bowling.

* Big cities, the sea or mountains and trees?
Big Cities.

* How do you see yourself in 10 years?
Happy and with more free time. I hope.

Deviousness

jasinski hasn't been here for the longest time, but he has made the best of it so far. His love for the community blossomed and eventually became a huge poster of over 500 deviants. But this is not all he has done for us. His cooperation made DA Prints a huge success on opening day and his prints continue to sell daily. He has also contributed a featured wallpaper for subscribers, which he didn't have to do. He is a very giving person and is always looking for a way to help out. His talent is only matched by his heart and we truly appreciate all he has done.

Your art seems to chronicle and authenticate our generation. It's cool to be part of a time period in which you are creating & producing. Your work is really special.

I wanted to say something more original, but...I love you, guy!! I said to a lot of people here "I like your work" and I really meant it, but in your art is something very unique. I really love it. Good luck with your next works.

I wish I could actually see one of your paintings for real... I love how you handle the medium!

I laugh in the face of Death! ... Maybe not laugh...more like a quiet snicker. And I wouldn't do it directly in Death's face, so it's more like a quiet snicker behind Death's back.

I'm so happy for you :)

I'm still hooked on a person
Like an abusive realtionship
The love; still strong
With the ever growing hate thorns around it
Why have you cursed me cupid
Take back your arrow
For I am not loved back
I am a mess.
