I decided that for my IndyArt Tier contribution this week I would feature an artist whose work many Deviants have not yet seen.
~enhypnion has an excellent Giger-esque style, yet never loses sight of his individuality which shines through in every piece. Although his gallery currently holds only a handful of deviations, the dream-like imagery and unusual characters within have much impact. I encourage each and every one of you to venture into his gallery and check it out. Some samples to whet your palette:

<img src="[link] width="115" height="61" border="0" alt="Dreammachine I">
Since I'm not the greatest writer on the planet, I decided it would be nice to let the artist speak in his own words as well. I arranged a mini-interview with him, mercilessly probing his creative mind with my goofy questions! Muhahaha! Read onward to find out what makes
~enhypnion tick.
1. Who is your inspiration?
Its pretty broad in this, but I would say the two artists that got me going at first were Dali and H.R. Giger. Mostly Giger. Now days there are other artists whose work I admire (and influences me) among them Brom and Barlowe. I try to keep myself open to different styles, as I think I am still in the early stages of my artistic development.
2. What do you do for a living?
Graphic/Web designer for a small studio
3. Does music inspire you? If so, what?
MOST definitely. I sometimes find myself completely incapable to create without some music in the background. I have a pretty active imagination and I always finds way to make the music be part of what I am creating, almost like the scoring of a movie, although I try to remain conscious of it, so that the music does not take the piece in its own direction.
As far as what I listen to, its usually movie soundtracks, Tool and lately a largely unknown band called C17H19NO3. It depends on the painting and my mood.
4. What style do you aim for in your work?
This one is a bit hard for me to answer, mostly since I am still exploring a few different styles. I am trying to just learn as much as I can and more importantly have fun. We'll see how it goes from there.
5. How long have you been doing artwork?
not too long, about 4-5 years. It has pretty much always been digital, I have never (unfortunatelly) really experimented much with traditional media, except for a few sketches and the like.
6. What is your dream job?
hmm I would say pretty close to what I am doing now only with a much bigger paycheck. I love doing design, although dealing with clients is a nightmare. I think I would much prefer to work entirelly freelance as well. I would love to do some illustration eventually, but I have a long way to go in that before it can become a reality.
