We Interviewed Illustrator Io Kay!

1. How long have you been doing art and what inspired you to start?

I’ve been doodling since diapers, but I started teaching myself at 13. Around that time I discovered the Internet and fandom spaces, and all the wonderful artworks created for my favorite series prompted me to try getting better at art.

2. What is your favorite thing about being an artist?

To me, it’s the perfect way to unwind! I am a very emotional person who has problems expressing my feelings, so it feels good to channel them into something productive. That way I have something to do with all the inner turmoil and scattered thoughts, and it feels even better if I like the results.

3. Advice to other creators?

Do what you love and what feels right to you! It goes for everything, starting with your themes, medium, or posting online. Draw for yourself first and foremost, and don’t poison your love for your craft with expectations or an illusion of success.

4. what are your plans for 2021?

I aim to get my bachelor’s degree in arts this summer, and pass the exam to qualify for master’s program as well!
