Vincent, from the Zazzle store lowvincentyh, answers some questions about his illustrations, and his time at Zazzle. Check out the interview below and don’t forget to check out his store lowvincentyh!
Zazzle: Give us a brief bio, where you are from and when you started making art.
Vincent: To begin I just want to thank (you) Jes for the interview. I am a vector based cartoon character designer residing in Singapore. I started making vector cartoon character art in 2002. It started with a simple profile picture that I created for my online profile page. That little project ignited my passion towards vector cartoon character illustrations.
Zazzle: A lot of your work is vector illustrations, are there other styles of art you enjoy as well?
Vincent: I always been wanting to make non vector based illustrations, like painting my cartoon art with acrylic paint or another medium. But, there are things to consider before I can proceed. I think I have to get a scanner so I can start painting and get this thought out of my mind.
Zazzle: What has been your favorite design you’ve created, and why?
Vincent: I have to pick Abbot as it was my first cartoon art with an Asian theme that uses bold outlines. It’s still one of my favorites to this day.
Zazzle: When you’re not creating art, what are your other hobbies?
Vincent: I like to do interior rendering.
Zazzle: What got you interested in selling your art on Zazzle?
Vincent: To have someone assist in the production of merchandise, shipping and customer service so as an artist/designer I can focus on the creation process.
Zazzle: What tips can you give someone who is just starting out on Zazzle?
Vincent: This is something I read on the Internet and I like to pass it on to all new Zazzlers. To run a successful store is not easy and it does not come overnight. It requires a lot of hard work and promoting your works on various platforms. Patience and perseverance is the key to success.
Thanks Vincent!
