<zombierap21> good aftermoon Raggatron
<Raggatron> greetings citizen zombie
<zombierap21> since u had u been doing u art?
<Raggatron> i have been drawing since i was 12 years old.. I am now 32
<zombierap21> can u tell us u real name?
i<Raggatron> my real name is Kevin Edward Thompson
<zombierap21> can u tell me how u started to do u paints?
<Raggatron> i learned a lot while I was just a skateboarder painting ramps and walls and such
<Raggatron> then it was natural to go into painting on canvas with the tricks I learned while being an active graffiti writer
<zombierap21> now tell me how u fell when u do a new work?
<Raggatron> actually i am totally focused on each piece i do,,, but after its finished I hold no sentimental attachment to it
<Raggatron> I have no problem selling it or giving it away
<zombierap21>tell me what had u did this days like a very know graftitti artist?
<Raggatron> well I am nothing special... there are people out there that can blow me away
<zombierap21> and yeah recently u got the big honor of be a gallery director tell me what u thinked when u received the great news of get seen u art posted in the Juxtapoz magazine and had received a place like the gallery director on deviantart? raggatron?
<Raggatron> Well it was one hell of a week for me.. a few days prior,,, I had the honor of being selected into the Juxtapoz magazine online edition reader art section,,,, Then the DA promotion kicked in,,, I felt appreciated for once to tell you the truth
<zombierap21> is amazing how u great style amazed many ppl around the globe?
<Raggatron> yeah,,, A lot to take in at once
<zombierap21> can u tell me what is you favorite draw on u gallery ?
<Raggatron> I would say my last 10 deviations,,, it seems as the months go on i see a progression in my style,,, and I look back at stuff i did 2 months ago and I say to myself " man i could have done this better, or that different "
<Raggatron> so i don't have a favorite
<Raggatron> per say
<zombierap21> here is a question that many deviants and myslef wanted to know from where you got the idea for your username?
<Raggatron> Well I used to be a Reggae dance hall DJ so the term "Ragga" came from reggae music.. And my passion for robots and technology gave me the name"Tron" so i merged the 2 together.
<Raggatron> and it rolls of the tongue nicely
<Raggatron>
<zombierap21> incredible
<zombierap21> before we end this interview "can u tell us a words to inspire ppl who want be a great artistist like u?
<Raggatron> I would say never give up,,, dont limit yourself to sticking to one style of art,,, being diverse is key... switch from drawing to painting, to clay making back to drawing.. then try something new like just coloring,,, Use all types of medium from crayons to micron pens to spray paint and even spaghetti sauce if its all you have lying around the house...
<Raggatron>
<zombierap21> well thanks for letting me had a interview with u Raggatron
<Raggatron> it has been my pleasure citizen
<zombierap21> in conclusion Raggatron is a amazing and incredible artist who started from a street styles paints to end like part of a famous art magazine and the DA big staff family :


well is all good nights and like raggatron says: stay tuned citizen
