interview with S.R. Callow

`Princess-of-Shadows:iconPrincess-of-Shadows: reports, May 25, 2008

Interview with S.R. Callow aka *WCS-Wildcat

Mr. Callow has been on dA for some time and Ive followed his work almost since the beginning. His willingess to grow and develop his own visual language is so so nice to see. In this interview he talks about his motivations, inspirations and leaves also a few words to the "haters" out there.




As someone who has been following your work for some time, I know that you've been through some hard times here on dA. What makes you so unhappy and unsatisfied with your beautiful art?

Some problems in real life and on dA, I have had hard times and people have said some mean things about my artwork. Sometimes people are just playing a joke when they say things but it still effects me. With every artwork I create, I always try to grow into new things and as well, I always try to get better and learn new techniques.

Most of your work has some very sad/ melancholic notes. Would you like to talk a little about it, let us know what makes you prefer this kind of art, is it art imitating life, is it following the "dark art trend" that some say, or is it really some kind of therapy?

Some of the feelings in my artworks come from deep thoughts about some of the problems I've had and this is sort of a therepy without speaking about it to others. I've really enjoyed the work of others here on deviantArt and when I look at your work and some others I can relate to them. I really enjoy creating this art and the feelings I have so that others can relate to the feelings I have as well. To me, it is not a trend. I love creating these artworks and I keep trying to creating something new and a little different each time.





Just like everyone else who posts art on the internet, you become vulnerable to criticism and judging. How do you act towards people who have.. less positive things to say about your art?

At first, I know I acted very badly towards people making garbage comments on my art or journals but now I just tell them thanks and ignore it or if it's not so bad I will tell them I appriciate their advice for next time. I am more positive towards their feelings too and I can learn from them. If they are really bad then I simply ignore them or have the person blocked if they continue to harass me. I always give chances for these people to e-mail me or talk about things in private if they want to. I deal with this problem a lot better now.

Most artists say that the time of the day they feel more inspired and free is at night. Do you feel the same way, or is there another time of the day when you feel particularly inspired? Why do you think that is?

I am always seeing new, inspiring and beautiful art on deviantArt all the time and during the day I can get a lot of new ideas but during the evening in night time is when I normally like to relax and create my art. Often times I will complete my art so it is half finished and wait to do all the hard detail and finishing touches when I am awake in the morning.




Now on a more personal note, we can all see a clear evoltuion in your work and for that we all wish to congratulate you. But now instead of looking at the past and the path you've been through, if I asked you to take a look into a future that only you can imagine, how do you see your creations in one year from now?

I would still love to enjoy creating the work and photomanipulations I do now, however I would also like to practise more on the works I love that I am not so talented at like photography and digital painting. I would also love to continue with my traditional artworks as well.

This is the biggest art community around the world, with many different art styles and people, and lately we can see many artists "against" each other, bringing fanart, animé and even dark art down. Is there something you'd like to say
to those people, as an opportunity to defend your own art?


I think so many people are just so jealous of the most popular artists here. The artists that never give up and always continue to grow are the ones that are the strongest here. Some people can get so upset here that they just quit or give up and I know how this feels because at times I have wanted to as well but I want to get better and I think I could have a lot of potential to be a great artist and also a person people could look up to in the community. I think the little communities with in the different genres like anime and the darkarts should be supporting eachother. I try to just do my own thing and I don't worry about the people trying to put others down.

He has some nice art there :)
:iconphilosopherpariah:
I believe anyone who would mock this magnificent artwork are just people who don't want to see it because they ignore the troubles of life, they don't want to see anything that might bring down their oh so perfect world. These photos are amazing, they capture the emotions, the story of a life that's faced troubles, but still looks for something great in the end of it all.
