Studio Q+A: Thomas Fernandez

Linework NW is at its heart a gathering of remarkable creators, editors, illustrators, cartoonists, and publishers who represent some of the best work that is being produced in these mediums today.

Each day from now until the show we will be highlighting the amazing creators of Linework NW in a series of short interviews on their process and studios. Today’s Q+A, conducted by Kinoko Evans, will be spotlighting artist Thomas Fernandez (Live Rad Studios).

Where do you live? I live part time in Portland, and part time in San Diego, CA

Where does the majority of your creative practice take place? I rent a room in Portland, which i primarily use as my studio, and that is where the majority of my artworks is made. I am a professional tattoo artist, and i am originally from San Diego, so i try to be in California every other month to tattoo. I enjoy the ritual of spending a month tattooing, then spending a month working on paintings, illustrations, sculptures and other projects.

What are your favorite tools of the trade? My favorite "tools of the trade" are as follows, Hiro nibs, Kafka and Windsor & Newton brushes, Pentel pocket brush pen, my old thriftstore light table, and my Vac-U-Form.

 Do you keep any posters, toys, artworks in your creative space for inspiration? My work space is covered in crap. I love being surrounded by the things that inspire me, so they unconsciously permeate what ever i am working on. there are tons of toys around and on my desk. Primarily they are vintage monster toys, or very kitschy cute mid century toys. I like the combination of gross oozing monsters, and smiling kewpies paired together. toys aside there are alot of old Halloween masks, and black light posters hanging up around my work space.

What are you working on for this year's Linework NW? Currently for linework i have a few new projects in the works. I have a new run of fluorescent silk screen prints that were a collaboration, and printed by Nightwatch Studios. I have also been sculpting, vacumforming, and airbrushing monster masks. Similar to the 1960's hard plastic ones you find at thrift stores. this has been a project ive always wanted to do, and am stoked to be releasing the first run at linework! I will have some new shirts, stickers, zines, toys, enamel pins, and other junk!
