1. Could you tell us a little bit about your art background?
I
have been a science and math person all my life. I wanted so much to
draw, such that I attended drawing classes for many years when I was a
kid. I guess the lack of achievement from those classes tells a lot of
my 'talent'.
2. What is your favorite subject matter to work with when it comes to your clip-art
Science of course!
3. How did you get into creating clip-art?

3. How did you get into creating clip-art?
I
then started to use Powerpoint to create diagrams and pictures for my
lessons, rather than taking them from publishers' image bank, which
mostly don't satisfy all my needs. Then Powerpoint couldn't satisfy me
anymore, and I moved on to Inkscape.
4. What do you enjoy most about making clip-art?
I liked how I can create diagrams that are accurately correct, and also incorrect in whatever way I wanted to teach misconceptions!
5. Do you have any tips for TPT sellers (who use clip art) or clip-artists?
Stay
true to what you can do best, not what that is selling well. I am still
struggling with that today, but I remember making sets similar to what
other sellers had that sold like hot cakes, and I regretted them so
much. They looked horrible, and they are not selling.
6.What is your favorite clip-art set you've created and why?
Human Reproduction set. This set was improved again and again across a period of one year, and I think its current look deserved my favoritism.
7. Tell us about your best-selling clip-art set.
A set on Energy that was recently revamped, covering all aspects: Types of energy, sources of energy, generation of energy and so on.
8. Which clip-art set was the most challenging?
My career sets! People are so difficult to draw!
9. Do you take requests?
Yes! In fact, all my sets lately are requests.
