WSI: Where would you like to be with your art in 5 yrs time? JF: In 5 years time I will want to still be freelancing and building my client base up, most of my illustrations are catered towards men and I wish to sustain that. Whether it be prints for menswear or customising of one off pieces like I have done in the past - bikes, skateboards, snowboards etc. WSI: Has using social networks helped you as an artist? Why/How? JF: I haven’t used too much social networking but whilst I am still setting up my official site, my tumblr blog functioned as a portfolio which is was the quick way to get my work seen and was very effective in doing so. My type of client base doesn’t really follow how many ‘likes’ or ‘followers’ you have etc. WSI: Background music when your creating art? JF: A range of stuff but I generally like old music before my time. The two Bobs never fail - Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, Big Momma Thornton, The XX, The Smiths ■
