Loish
Lois Van Baarle (Loish) is an artist that lives in Hollandand specialises in illustrations. This interview is set up a little differently to normal one-on-one interviews. Schoolism is an online art school so the interviews they do are online interviews over webcams. Loish has a very large online following and updates regularly on her social media. This interview is about how she survives online, gets jobs and keeps up her online presence. It's 2016 and having an online presence is very important in today's society. Loish sells her own prints/merchandise online and recently had a kickstarter to publish her own art book that was fulfilled in two hours. She also does commissions, concept art and is trained in animation as well.
The interview was a great insight into how artists can survive on their own terms in this day in age. The questions are extremely relevant to the digital generation that is thriving right now.
Personally I love Loish's art. Her style is unique and her creations are her own, she isn't one of those artist's that go into fan art and profit from that. I think her experiences in life have helped shape her and her work and I find it very inspiring.
