I have a varied interest in themes. I enjoy fantasy because it takes me back to the time of  knights, ladies, princesses and princes, good faeries etc.   I've always loved faery tales so it's no wonder I enjoy that type of fantasy art. 

Plus I tend to think that people see "real life" around them all day.  All they need to do is go outside and see people dressesd in sweats or grunge etc.  Why would they want to recreate that day in and out in their art?

For me when I set out to make something, I want to make something that "takes me away" off into far lands, even for a litle while.  Kind of like a good dream :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
