I finally gave up the hustle and bustle of the New York City studio lifestyle. I made the move to lazy California about five years ago and have never looked back. My primary workstation is in a small bedroom. Most of my work is digital these days, so the setup is fairly simple: twoMy average month consists of a healthy balance of client work, personal work, and comic convention travel.
"My extra-wide monitor is great for having two browsers up. Now I don’t need to choose between reference images and YouTube videos" says Edwin.My partner and I are toy concept artists, so the rest of the house is filled with figurines and statues. We love surrounding ourselves with toys, and call them reference material as an excuse for our childish behaviour. What’s not pictured are the millions of toy boxes in our garage and closets.
"This is the loft area where me and my wife spend most of our time when either gaming or generally slacking off," Edwin says.My hobbies include fighting games, toy collecting, cars and working out. All of my interests tend to blend and define what I like to draw. If it’s not obvious, Street Fighter and video games have truly infested my daily life. I try to convince myself that gaming for six hours straight is part of the work process, but we all know that’s a sham.
"My Copic marker collection. They’re primarily used for comic convention sketches. Having these around definitely keeps my traditional skills from atrophy," Edwin says.This content originally appeared in ImagineFX magazine, the world's leading digital art and fantasy art magazine. ImagineFX is on sale in the UK, Europe, United States, Canada, Australia and more.
