What inspires you as an artist to be creative?
One of the things that keeps me going is creating my own world on a blank canvas. Things that you don't see in your ordinary life. We make it happen just so others can share our way to see the world.
How long have you been doing your art work?
I started doing artwork when I was in my late high school years, unfortunately I couldn't take any art classes when I was going there. I also think everything happens for a reason.
Name: Angel Villacis
Age: 22
Hometown: Plainfiled, NJ
What got you started in art?
One of the things that got my started as an artist was watching cartoons like Tom and Jerry every morning.I also growing up playing video games like Mario and many others.
What are some of your achievements?
I have won a few awards at the school I recently graduated from, but I think the best reward for an artist is creating a new pieces of artwork. I don't think nothing can beat that feeling of gratitude with your self.
Where do you see your self going in five years?
I would love to see my self working for the movies or video games studios doing all aspects of 3d work, from visual effects to modeling and lighting.
Something you've always wanted to do, but have yet to?
Something I will love to see my self do is work with some of the big name movie producers in the movie industry.
Favorite quote or quotes?

The moment you realized you were an artist?
I realized I was an artist when I started painting to get a meaning across rather than just get a painting done... I also think that there is a lot of work done before you even put a stroke down.
I will like to add that I was a traditional who use oils and acrylics but as time has pass I started to work on digital medium and I really enjoy it.. the next thing for me is attending school for visual effects and animation and work in the visual effect industry.
