PimpArtworks Introduces "Parmi"

Posted: March 18th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »
Who are you, what do you do and where are you from?

“My name is Andrew, I live in the south eastern area of Melbourne, Australia. I am a photographer and digital artist.”

How long have you been into photography?

“I first picked up an SLR in high school, back in 1994. Have been taking happy snaps ever since. After traveling in 2008, I dove head first into photography and digital manipulation of photos, and haven’t looked back since. I got my first DSLR, my Canon 50D in June 2009. A solid relationship has grown between us since.”

Do you take your camera everywhere you go? How far away from you is it as we speak?

“Ha, yes I do. I made a pact with myself to take it everywhere. Months ago, i was without it for one day, and kicked myself senseless when I couldn’t shoot every second thing that went past me.
He’s sitting on my desk next to me, staring up at me. There is a lot of love.”

You’ve been about a bit (travelling that is!). Where’s your favourite location?

“I live to travel, been lucky enough to visit all the continents except Antarctica, which I am aiming to get to before my death.
My favourite location is damn hard to pick, but I’d have to say Namibia, Africa. The country is unique, ever changing landscapes, the incredible Namib Desert, Fish River Canyon, Etosha National Park.. argh the list goes on. There’s an ancient feel to the whole place, like nowhere else I have visited.”

Name 3 things you love and 3 you hate.

“Hate: ignorance, arrogance and cold / wet / miserable weather.
Love: aside from the obvious.. creating, music and staying up late for no reason.”

Any tips for beginners?

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t take photos, or create art. If you have tried, keep going with it, artistic development comes to those who persevere. Creation is unique to everyone.
Don’t be scared of Photoshop, it’s only hard to begin with.”

Cheers for your time Andrew, is there anything else you’d like to add?

“Thanks to PimpArtworks for the chance to share a bit of my world with you guys. Look forward to seeing some great art on this site!”

Cracking print release from Shepard Fairey to commemorate Smokey Robinson’s 50 years of music.

There are two colourways available, but for me, it’s gold all the way.

Buy them today at a random (aka keep checking all day every 20 seconds) time, here: http://bit.ly/t3qo.

Until next time.
