Interview: Derek Van Oss
°spot
reports, January 31, 2004
reports, January 31, 2004 |
 Derek
Van Oss is a multi-talented Texas native who has a passion for creativity
and immersing himself in the arts. Van Oss, or cafezero as he is better
known on deviantART, has been around the community for over a year
and a half. In that time span, he has amassed quite a following on
deviantWatch and has used deivantART to further himself as an artist.
Recently, cafezero was kind enough to sit down with me and chat about
his feelings on everything from what inspires him, to how deviantART
motivates him as a person.
Spot: You're a multi-faceted artist; photography, graphic design, web design, illustration, poetry, music, etc. … what medium do you enjoy most? Cafezero: I am most satisfied with my photography on the whole. Sometimes I can't believe some of the things there are out there to photograph, especially in the studio. There is so much room to get creative with lighting, props, and the like. I love looking through the images that I just shot and picking out "the money shot". I’d have to say though, with my journey into music, (I’m currently studying jazz on the trumpet) the mood I go in to while I play is just so peaceful and rewarding to my relaxation. I'm really eager to get into improv jazz on my horn. Perhaps I’ll perform when I get to that level. Who or what inspires you creatively? Where do you get your vision? I collect inspiration from so many different things. I make an effort to not make every day a routine, so I’m always seeing and hearing and just generally putting myself into new environments from which I’ll always find something wonderful in. New York City has always been a muse of sorts, and this is reflected in my deviantART gallery. At a minimum, I visit the city once a year and stay with my good friend and fellow DA member, culturastudio; a brilliant photographer that inspires me to always look at things differently and focus on the game. Music is big for me too. I listen to all kinds, mostly jazz (Miles, Coltrane, Getz, Rollins, Monk, Brubeck, Marsalis, the list goes on) and classical (Chopin, Gershwin, Dvorak, Strauss, Stravinsky, among others). I also get good vibes from more contemporary artists like Depeche Mode, Oingo Boingo, and even as far as harder rockers like Dream Theater and The Liquid Tension Experiment. Film is also an inspiration, from satirical sitcoms on TV to tear jerking chick flicks on the big screen. I have such a respect for everyone involved in that industry and the skill it takes to be a master of their craft. A good part of day-to-day inspiration comes from just being around others, walking around the city, riding public transit (a favorite of mine), and even just being alone in silence, allowing myself to just shut up for a minute. I'll add that photographically speaking, it was Anton Corbijn who got me into the excitement of photos. You don't have a college degree...have you found it difficult to be successful at what you do without one?  A
few years ago, no. I went into my career as a web designer for a
startup .com in Dallas (which is now dead) the week after I graduated
high school in May of 2000. The .com business had not yet bombed
and jobs were plentiful. I mostly stuck to web design for day jobs,
but I freelanced graphic design on the side, mostly getting business
by word of mouth through family and friends. Getting creative jobs,
from my perspective, has always been about having a strong portfolio
to show and having a mature business mind to follow through with.
My portfolio always got me past the "you don't have an education
section on your resume" question. It hasn't been so easy to
find steady full time work in web design, as I just ended my three
year job as a web designer for the IT /Retail eBusiness Concept
and Design Team for Verizon Communications though. For now I’ve
been busy freelancing (again), primarily through word-of-mouth jobs.
If anyone knows someone who needs work done, tell them you know
a guy!How did you become successful without a college degree?  I
started out doing EVERYTHING imaginable (from a creative outlook)
for my friends’ band here in Dallas. From CD covers, to photo-shoots,
to flyers, to stickers, to the Web site ... all for free of course;
although the experience was well worth the payoff. And I was dedicated,
extremely, maybe even to an unhealthy point. My social circle was
the three band members and nobody else. I was in high school at
the time and my grades really suffered. I graduated in the bottom
half of a 600+ student graduating class and was not accepted to
my top university choice. I still ended up landing a lead designer
position at a startup .com company making $18.00 an hour at just
barely 18 years old. That really proved some of my teachers wrong
who said I’d “never get it”. In short, hard work,
dedication, persistence, patience, and holding on to the dream all
got me there.How do you feel about the deviantART community?  What
a great community it is. I actually remember running into the site
a few years back when it was only a few months old, but I shrugged
it off and never joined. It wasn't until a co-worker at Verizon,
*triponics, showed me this great way to kill dead time at work
and get good solid feedback from others around the globe at the
same time, and also to find some kick-ass art we turned into wallpapers
for our daily desktops. I was hooked. The community is so inviting
to newcomers and so warm to those who have been around awhile and
dedicate a lot of time to the greater good of DA. Not only was my
portfolio growing because I was constantly creating new work to
be released to the community, but I was making good, solid friends
at the same time. It became a social outlet for me as well. I owe
the developers of the community a great deal of gratitude for helping
further myself as an artist and even as a person over the past almost
two years. We, as artists and humans in general, are blessed to
have such a dedicated staff for such a wonderful and very much needed
community.How has the deviantART assisted in furthering your skill? I would say mostly by giving me a drive to keep creating so that I always have something new to show to the community and especially to those whom keep an eye on me. Having the community at my fingertips has always helped me fight my way out of creative blocks time and time again. Many would be surprised as to what looking at art you may not even like, or downright despise, can do for your mind to get it to spark a new fire. I try and release a few new pieces every week, whereas prior to my deviantART experience, I was only shooting and designing when I got paid to, or when I just had this seemingly, brilliant idea that I had to get out of my system. The community really embraces experimentation and deconstruction of what you're doing that works, and what honestly doesn't. It's not too bad of a tool to use for reading up on the latest trends in your respective field and for noting "what sells" as well. Have you always been a "creative"? Do you think you will always be in the creative industry?  My
earliest creative journeys were a passion for Disney Feature Animation
and for the cartoon work of Jim Davis on "Garfield" and
"U.S. Acres". I spent so much time drawing Garfield, I
was known as "the kid who draws Garfield real good" in
elementary school. As I got older, I spilled over into comic books
and even worked as a comic book inker for a few publishers back
in high school. I even had some work published in "Wizard:
The Guide to Comics", the industries leading magazine. When
I started doing the inking work and getting paid for it, I knew
that I had what it would take to earn a living at being creative.
I kept working harder and exploring more things to get involved
in that offered creative output. I even tried out for a play my
senior year of high school, just to try it out. However, I didn't
get the part, of course. I later discovered my knack for design
and photography at the tail end of my senior year of high school,
though my journey into web design came first during the junior high
years. The second part of that question is simple: yes.How necessary do you think it is to have "the best" equipment in your field, be it photography or graphic/web design? What's "best" is different to everyone in ANY field. I have long said; “Use what makes you money, what gets you the results you like, and what gets you the results your client likes.” You are NOT only as good as your tools. Your tools are only as good as YOU make them. What's next for us to see in your creative endeavors?  I've
been working with a very talented team of people at a company called
Looker Production. You've seen some of my work with them if you've
been through my gallery and a ton more is on the way, mostly fashion
oriented photography, though I also do design for clients who come
to the company for that too. My trips to NYC will always yield new
work from me, and even more once I move there. Perhaps some writing
too. I’ve been pushed to write some screenplays for some ideas
I’ve had and who knows? As for the rest, you'll just have
to wait and see. I don't even know what could happen tomorrow.What is your favorite word? Likewise. What is your least favorite word? "Holla" What turns you on? Good old fashioned romance. What turns you off? Self destruction. What sound do you love? A jazz-like muted trumpet. What sound do you hate? "Low battery" warnings on electronic devices. What is your favorite curse word? $#!t What other profession, other than your own, would you like to try? Archaeology. What profession would you NOT like to try? President of the United States. If there is a heaven, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive? "Well, what a piece of Sh*t you turned out to be. Nah, just kidding! Come on in!" I hope s/he's got a sense of humor like that. Copyright © 2004 deviantART Inc. |

Really interesting interview! To me, that spells out the kinda' person that likes to have fun, that I'd like to talk to and maybe learn from. I agree from your tools only being as good as you... lots of people here use photoshop, excelently, where-as, when I tried it, I couldn't even make something as good as a standard web oekaki... however, when I use paint shop pro, I can do very well- it's not just knowing how to use something, it's having the guts to use something to it's full extent...
Very interesting- and useful via it gives us all a little boost up the backside shouting 'look what you can do if you try!'
